Global – October 12, 2026 -- CIQ is making Enterprise Linux Manager (ELM) available at no additional cost with all RLC Pro subscriptions. Migrating fleets get a local mirror, curated content views, rollback and network provisioning before the first host is converted.

CIQ treats OS conversion and lifecycle tooling as separate workstreams

For RHEL, Oracle Linux and CentOS-family sources, CIQ's migrate2rlc script converts each host to RLC Pro within the same major version. The conversion changes what runs on the host. It leaves three questions open: where hosts pull packages afterward, which content each host group may install, and how teams build replacement machines. ELM answers all three, and CIQ advises putting that layer into the migration plan from the first week.
