afaik. You still get free updates. But with pro you get 5 more years of updates on lts. making it a total of 10 years.

Which seems completely fair. This is a silly article and too many comments here aren’t understanding this.

If a business wants 10 years of support then yeah they should pay as it’s cheaper than upgrading.

For personal use just goddamn update after 5 years geeze lol.

Edit: this person’s blog post just misunderstands the situation. See here for actual release info and when ESM starts for each release. 5 years standard as of 24.04.

And you can get the extra 5 years for free anyway with a free subscription for up to 5 machines.

Did they misinterpret the VM limitation, or does the personal license not cover VMs?

I think that's a misinterpretation, considering a VM is going to be the first place an org tests such a program
