Ubuntu Pro Pricing Thailand — The Canonical Partner Enterprises Trust

Ubuntu Pro is an extended subscription service from Canonical for Ubuntu LTS, providing extended security maintenance and compliance — including Universe package security (36,000+ packages), Livepatch for the Linux kernel (no reboot required), FIPS 140-2, CIS and STIG hardening, plus the Landscape management platform. None of these are included in regular Ubuntu LTS.

Per Canonical official pricing: Desktop Self-Support $25/workstation/year, Server Self-Support $500/machine/year (with unlimited VMs), Server with Infra Support 24/7 $1,775/machine/year, and Server with Full Support 24/7 $3,400/machine/year. When purchased through Bluesharp as Canonical Reseller Thailand, you receive a Thai VAT invoice, can pay in local currency, and get English/Thai support.

Ubuntu Pro Server (Self-Support) is $500/machine/year, while RHEL Standard is approximately $799/machine/year and RHEL Premium 24/7 is around $1,299/machine/year. Ubuntu Pro includes FIPS 140-2, CIS Hardening, Livepatch, and security patches for 36,000+ Universe packages in one price, while RHEL often requires separate add-ons (FIPS module, Satellite Server). Over a 3-year TCO on a 10-server fleet, Ubuntu Pro saves around 30–40% at comparable feature level.

Ubuntu Pro is available in Thailand through Bluesharp Company Limited — an authorized Canonical Reseller in Thailand. We can issue Thai VAT invoices, accept payment via local banks, and offer additional services like CentOS/RHEL migration, managed service, remote setup, and English/Thai support.

Ubuntu Pro helps with PDPA compliance through four mechanisms: (1) 10-year security patches covering 36,000+ packages — reducing data breach risk; (2) FIPS 140-2 Certified Encryption for personal data at rest and in transit; (3) CIS Hardening Profiles to reduce attack surface based on baseline security; (4) Landscape for audit trail and compliance reporting from a central console — ideal for Thai organizations subject to the Personal Data Protection Act, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF.

Yes. Canonical officially certifies the Ubuntu Pro FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module.

Bluesharp offers an end-to-end CentOS / RHEL Migration to Ubuntu Pro service: (1) Assessment of the existing environment, (2) Application stack compatibility check, (3) Migration plan with rollback, (4) Migration executed server-by-server on a client-approved window, (5) 30–90 days post-migration support. Ideal for organizations facing CentOS 7 End-of-Life or wanting to reduce RHEL license cost.

Yes. Ubuntu Pro for Personal Users is free for up to 5 machines for general users, or up to 50 machines for active Ubuntu Community members — workstation only. For production server use or enterprise environments, an Enterprise license is required.

Livepatch is a Canonical technology that patches the Linux kernel without rebooting the machine — ideal for production servers requiring high uptime. When a critical/high CVE is published, Canonical pushes the patch via the Livepatch service, and the kernel is patched live without disrupting running workloads.

Yes. You can detach a license from any machine at any time using the `pro detach` command. Once detached, the machine immediately loses access to Universe security patches and Livepatch. Refund eligibility depends on the contract with Bluesharp/Canonical — contact our team for details.
