openSUSE Leap 42.1 Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SUSE openSUSE Leap 42.1 still supported?
SUSE ended support for the openSUSE Leap 42.1 on May 17, 2017 — no more patches or fixes from the vendor. Third-party support keeps it covered: our engineers manage issues, remediate vulnerabilities, and help you maintain compliance for as long as you run it.
When is the SUSE openSUSE Leap 42.1 end of service life (EOSL) date?
SUSE lists the end of service life for the openSUSE Leap 42.1 as May 17, 2017.
Can I keep using the openSUSE Leap 42.1 after its EOSL date?
Yes. EOSL means SUSE stops issuing patches and support — the software itself keeps running. Third-party support covers it from there: issue management, security vulnerability remediation, and the compliance documentation auditors ask for, for as long as you choose to run it.
How much does third-party support for the openSUSE Leap 42.1 cost?
Typically 40-70% below the OEM maintenance renewal price. Exact pricing depends on quantity, service level and location — request a quote and we respond within 24 hours.
