Subscriptions for GNUPro Support ensure developers are working with the latest version of GNUPro Toolkit for these desktops, and GNUPro's framework allows users to port applications from one operating system to the next with ease. GNUPro Support is sold as an annual subscription and includes the latest versions of GNUPro Toolkit plus upgrades as they become available, access to the Red Hat Web-based support portal and patch-level bug fixes delivered by GNU experts employed by Red Hat, including many of the maintainers and drivers of GNU software.
