3. Description:
After March 31, 2017, as per the life-cycle support policy for Red Hat
Satellite, Red Hat will discontinue technical support services as well as
software maintenance services for all Red Hat Satellite and Proxy versions
5.6 or older on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The listed versions will exit
the existing Limited Maintenance Release phase. This means that new bug
fixes, security updates, and product enhancements will no longer be

* Red Hat Satellite 5.6 and Proxy 5.6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Details of the Satellite support policy can be found at:

Enterprise Linux 6 and later.
2) Red Hat Satellite 5.6 and Proxy 5.6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will
be EOL on March 31 2017.
How to proceed:
* All affected Satellite and Proxy users must plan to upgrade to a newer
version prior to March 31 2017.
* Find an overview of various aspects for this upcoming EOL date at
https://access.redhat.com/articles/2868391
* If you have a Technical Account Manager, contact that person immediately

migration, see https://www.redhat.com/en/services/consulting

It is critical to ensure you have a plan to migrate to Red Hat Enterprise

enhancements.
