Dear Red Hat Satellite/Proxy Customer,

On March 24th, 2009, per the life-cycle support policy, the version 3 
series of Satellite and Proxy products will exit Production Phase 2 
marking the end of their support by Red Hat. Please reference the 
support policy here:
https://www.redhat.com/security/updates/satellite/


For migration planning, please note the following dates:

- March 24th, 2009 - Satellite and Proxy 3.x ceases to be supported. 
Official support ends. Only Severity 1 issues and migration assistance 
will be addressed. Satellite and Proxy will continue to operate, but all 
customers are encouraged to migrate in a timely manner.

- July 27th, 2009 - Satellite and Proxy 3.x active status will be 
terminated. Satellite and Proxy version 3.x will enter an inactive 
state. Satellite and Proxy communication to RHN Hosted will cease to 
function (for example, the satellite-sync command will no longer work).


How to proceed:

- All Satellite and Proxy 3.x users must plan to migrate to a newer 
version prior to July 27th, 2009.

- If you have a Technical Account Manager, contact that person 
immediately to discuss migration plans.

- Otherwise, contact support for assistance: 
https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/

- Alternatively, Red Hat Consulting can be engaged to assist with a 
smooth migration: http://www.redhat.com/consulting/

It is critical to ensure you have a plan to migrate off of Satellite and 
Proxy 3.x prior to July 27th, 2009.

Thank you.
The Red Hat Support and RHN Satellite Teams
