== eus-4.6 channel
88+
89+
In addition to the stable channel, certain minor versions of {product-title} offer an
90+
Extended Update Support[https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/openshift#ocp4_phases] (EUS).
91+
These EUS versions extend the maintenance phase for customers with Premium Subscriptions
92+
to 14 months. {product-title} 4.6 is currently the only minor version with EUS.
93+
94+
Although there is no difference between stable-4.6 and eus-4.6
95+
channels until {product-title} 4.6 transitions to EUS the phase, you can switch
96+
to the EUS channel as soon as it becomes available. When {product-title} 4.6
97+
transitions to the EUS phase of its lifecycle the stable-4.6 channel will
98+
no longer receive subsequent z-stream updates. After you upgrade to a version that
99+
is exclusive to the EUS channel, that cluster will no longer be eligible for minor
100+
version upgrades until upgrades to the next EUS version become available. The next
101+
planned EUS version is to be 4.10 and the upgrade to that version will require a
102+
serial set of version upgrades, such as from 4.6 to 4.7 to 4.8 to 4.9 to 4.10.
103+
104+
Additionally, you may only switch to the EUS channel when your cluster is running
105+
a supported version of {product-title} 4.6.
106+
107+
Finally, if you install of a 4.6 version that is exclusive to EUS, you will
108+
similarly not be able to upgrade to a later minor version until upgrades are provided to 4.10.
