Be told before Fedora 42 runs out
One email, ahead of the date, and nothing else. No account, no newsletter, and every message carries a link that stops them for good.
You just looked this up by hand, for one version
You had to already know you were running this version to search for it. StackDrift scans your machines and works that out for you, across every runtime, operating system and kernel underneath your code, then mails you before the next support window closes or a CVE lands on a build you have deployed.
A card is needed to open the trial and nothing is charged until it ends.
