Canonical extends Ubuntu LTS support to 12 years for Ubuntu Pro customers with a paid Legacy Support add-on, available starting with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The extension offers security maintenance and support for an additional two years, increasing the previous 10-year commitment. Ubuntu LTS releases receive five years of standard security maintenance by default, but Ubuntu Pro users can now access 12 years of support and security updates.
