CTOnews.com, December 21, at the 2022 Tongxin UOS Ecological Conference, Tongxin Software announced a new strategy for 2023-"B side empowers thousands of businesses, C side enters thousands of households", and issued a free license for the use of server operating system UOS V20 (click here to get it).

However, following the announcement that CentOS 8 will stop update maintenance, CentOS 7 will also stop update maintenance on June 30, 2024. With CentOS shutdown, users will not be able to get official patch installation support and system upgrades, which makes domestic enterprises using CentOS servers face huge security vulnerabilities and other problems.

At present, the domestic enterprise users can choose from the community version based on the root communities such as OpenEuler and OpenAnolis, which is based on the international community version principle and has a life cycle of only 4 to 5 years; the other is the paid commercial version provided by commercial operating system companies, and enterprise users often do not have such a budget in the short term.

General Information Software announced that in 2023, it will launch a free license for the use of the UOS V20 server operating system, providing users with new options for system migration to solve the challenges brought by CentOS stops and changes.

It is understood that the free use of Tongxin software is authorized by its mature commercial version-Universe server operating system V20. This version is a more advanced 4.19 kernel version than the most widely used kernel version of CentOS 7, 3.10.

In addition, in terms of product quality and ecological endorsement, Universe server operating system V20 is also better than the community version, providing 13 years of ultra-long life cycle maintenance, including 5-year upgrade service, 5-year functional guarantee and 3-year security maintenance. Users can download and use this version free of charge through the official website of Tongxin software.

CTOnews.com learned that compared with the commercial version of the Universe server operating system V20, users who choose to use the license for free will no longer receive the commercial support and guarantee provided by the software. If later users need these commercial guarantees and services, Tongxin also provides an one-click activation module, users can choose to subscribe or purchase permanent authorization, upgrade to commercial service authorization, no need to uninstall reinstallation.

UniCredit also announced that it would open the source code of UniCredit Server operating system V20 to ecological partners such as ISV. "the commercial version of open source is difficult. This free license, after completing the open source compliance assessment, will open all the code of UniCredit server operating system V20 in stages and really practice the concept of open source."

In this way, ecological partners such as ISV, which are developed based on the open source operating system, can obtain the source code through applications, official link downloads, open source repositories, etc., and develop in accordance with the open source license agreement to further accelerate the development of the ecosystem based on the Chinese operating system.

According to Tongxin, "the UOS operating system is based on commercial distributions and provides free license and open source to users and ecological partners. The goal is not to become a root operating system similar to Fedora, but to return to the nature of open source commercial distributions; not only to actively participate in the innovation of the upstream root community, but also to form commercial products based on the achievements of various communities, and to ensure quality and service cycle for commercial users."
