IT Professionals,
As communicated in January 2020 and November 2021, due to significant increases in Red Hat licensing costs and declining Red Hat operating system use across IU, UITS is phasing out our enterprise license agreement in February 2023. The new pricing per license model is outlined below:
| SKU | Description | Qty | Price |
| RHG-RH01183-SLED | Red Hat INC : Red Had Enterprise Linux Academic Server, Self-support (16 sockets) (Up to 1 guest) with Smart Management + Satellite | 1 | $85.75 |
Information about how to purchase licenses will be provided once finalized. We wanted to send the pricing information to aid with budgeting moving forward. In order to aid with understanding your impact, we are providing a spreadsheet that shows current licenses.
As a reminder, UITS recommends that Red Hat only be used for business needs specifically requiring Red Hat; those units without an absolute dependency on Red Hat are strongly encouraged to migrate to an alternative platform. If migration is not possible you should seek appropriate funding to cover the full licensing cost outlined above.
Please contact IT Community Partnerships, itcp@iu.edu with any related questions or concerns.
