Maintain the security of your Oracle Linux 7 systems even after end of life by opting for a cost-effective lifecycle extension from the premier extended support vendor, providing up to 4 years of high and critical precision-engineered security updates.
Oracle Linux 7's end of life is on December 31, 2024. Beyond this, Oracle will stop free security updates. Customers must either buy the costly Oracle Premier Support plan, including Linux Extended Support, or risk cyber threats and non-compliance with security standards due to unpatched vulnerabilities.
Without extended support for Oracle Linux 7, you must quickly upgrade to a newer, freely patched Oracle Linux version like Oracle Linux 8, or seek an alternative support provider.
TuxCare Extended Lifecycle Support for Oracle Linux 7 has your back.
TuxCare's Extended Lifecycle Support ensures your Oracle Linux 7 systems stay secure and stable until your next move.

Oracle will offer free patches and updates for Oracle Linux 7 until December 2024. After this date, to continue receiving security updates, you’ll need to subscribe to the costly Oracle Premier Support plan, which includes the Linux Extended Support add-on. Alternatively, you could opt for TuxCare’s affordable Linux Extended Lifecycle Support for Oracle Linux 7, which ensures continued security updates and fixes for many years.
Oracle Linux 9 was released in June 2022. Right now, that’s the current release of Oracle’s enterprise Linux. Whether you run a web server or a data center, if you’re still using a version of Oracle Linux that’s no longer supported, consider upgrading to Oracle Linux 9 to enjoy ongoing support from Oracle – which is set to last until June 2032.
Don’t worry at all! TuxCare’s Extended Lifecycle Support works just like Oracle Linux’s updates. It uses the same tools and processes, so when you switch over, everything should run smoothly with no interruptions or slowdowns.
