Your Red Hat software is licensed under the GPL which means you can keep
using the open source code regardless of whether your subscription is
active or expired. However, there are many benefits to keeping your
subscription active:
* *Keep your systems secure* - Red Hat quickly provides the latest
security patches, all extensively tested.
* *Access support you can trust* - Deploy confidently with the
backing of the Linux experts at Red Hat.
* *Automate everyday maintenance tasks* - Save time and become more
efficient by using Red Hat Network to manage your systems.
* *Get the latest software faster* - Always tested and ready to go.
* *Grow your technology infrastructure responsibly* - Subscriptions
are an easier, more efficient way of growing your infrastructure.
