Ahh! Sorry! I once again have forgotten about the pesky SLES11. On the other hand, SLES 11 officially ends 31 March 2019 for normal users. To reach the 2022 date, you need cash out extra for a separate support agreement. For RHEL something similar is also possible with RHEL 5. but we considered the user base willing to do so to be fairly small - also as these agreements tends to be fairly costly unless you really have to. SUSE wants to have a chat with your before revealing any prices, so I can't tell if its the same here. But whenever sales wants to get in touch with you to go further, that is seldom a sign of a reasonable and affordable price. Regardless ... we should probably document this once and for all more properly. Both for OpenSSL and mbed TLS. We could add it to this draft [1] and make that draft more official.
