 # Understand how the Red Hat Linux Enterprise software reservation plan discount is applied for Azure
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> The Red Hat Linux Enterprise software reservation plan is temporarily unavailable.
+
+When you buy a Red Hat Linux Enterprise software plan, you get a discount on the cost of running Red Hat software on Azure virtual machines. This article explains how the discount is applied to your Red Hat software costs.
+
 After you buy a Red Hat Linux plan, the discount is automatically applied to deployed Red Hat virtual machines (VMs) that match the reservation. A Red Hat Linux plan covers the cost of running the Red Hat software on an Azure VM.
 
 To buy the right Red Hat Linux plan, you need to understand what Red Hat VMs you run and the number of vCPUs on those VMs. Use the following sections to help identify from your usage CSV file what plan to buy.
