How To Use Eol Versions Of Ubuntu · The Kernal

Canonical makes most of their money selling ESM, so that businesses can continue to use EOL versions of Ubuntu for servers. That’s no secret. But, what many people don’t know, is that you can grab a free token so that you can use Extended Support Maintenance for personal use. It allows you to run Ubuntu 16.04 and even 14.04 for an extended period of time, while still getting security updates. So, if you would like to use an older version of Ubuntu while not having to worry about having your security compromised, I am going to show you how to get your token, install the Ubuntu Advantage Tools, and attach your token.

      I used to have Ubuntu 10.4 in a virtual machine in order to be able to run a very early OpenERP client, that depended on a few obsolete Python packages.
