Does this mean that I can't use this specific Ubuntu version, or something else?
I tried to place an install it link into an answer, but apps.ubuntu.com went away and stopped working, it redirects to the Snapcraft store now.
The image was there all right but the link was redirected to https://snapcraft.io/store -- this isn't really what we want.
What happened to apps.ubuntu.com? Is there a new place where Ubuntu software can be found?
How can I get information about Ubuntu releases from the command line?

ESM is available for 12.04, which enables Ubuntu Advantage customers to keep receiving kernel updates and updates for many user space packages. In our case it's very important to know if we'll be able to use Ubuntu 14.04 safely after April 19, because it is not possible to upgrade our application and migrate it to say, 16.04.
Canonical provides paid support plans, but not for individuals (minimum Order: 50 Desktops). Is there any company other than Canonical providing paid support for Ubuntu for individuals or very small companies? If not directly for Ubuntu, then perhaps for Linux in general? I have tried searching online for a company that provides paid support to individuals but could not find anything.
