Canonical Now Offering Ubuntu Pro For WSL

Written by Michael Larabel in Ubuntu on 2 December 2025 at 08:24 AM EST. 10 Comments
Evidently Canonical has been pretty pleased with the uptake of Ubuntu on Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) within enterprise/corporate environments as they are now offering Ubuntu Pro for WSL.

The newest paid solution from Canonical is Ubuntu Pro for WSL to provide security maintenance and enterprise support for Ubuntu LTS WSL instances on Microsoft Windows.

Subscribing to Ubuntu Pro for WSL also provides management solutions for system administrators managing Ubuntu Linux in a corporate environment, now for within the confines of WSL instances too.
