Thanks for looking into that for me.

RHEL 6 had 5.5 years of Mainstream Support during which it went from 6.0 to 6.7.

RHEL 6 had 3.5 years of Maintenance Support during which it went from 6.8 to 6.10.

The fact you are using the "Extended Update Support" being applied to 6.7 seems to indicate that subscription gave you access to the 3.5 year period to get you to 6.10.

I still believe (anyone can correct me if I'm wrong), that the Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS) for the 11th year of 6.10 is *NOT* included.  To get that additional extention to the lifecycle still needs to be purchased.
