Legacy DA on Ubuntu 24

[Zhenyapan]

Hi,

Will legacy DA support Ubuntu 24? Because currently it tells to upgrade license.
Also what about other OS's? Will it support Almalinux 10 and so on?

Hi, you can check the supported OS here: https://docs.directadmin.com/getting-started/installation/overview.html

there is nothing about legacy license limitations

I don't think so. They list Ubuntu 24 as a new feature

It was asked recently in the release thread. Legacy licenses will -not- support new OS. What is current is the last, for example Alma 9 and Debian 12 and Ubuntu 20.4.

Here is a more better overview, so skip Ubuntu 24 and Debian 13 from there. Not supported for Legacy.

So they make legacy licenses fully useless in few years..

Exactly, which we already could forsee when they stopped MariaDB 11 and Myql 8.4 support. Every "new" thing will be considered new development and so only for modern licences, rendering ours in fact dynamically EOL within 2 years for dataabase and a bit more OS wise.

I'm just curious as how long we will get apache and php updates. That's unclear at the moment.

They should at least allow yearly pricing with the proposed discount..... Then maybe I'll upgrade
