Nov 5, 2021 at 1:39 comment added jshook Here's how to do ESM (note that you need to have an free ubuntu one account) discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-advantage-client/21788. This will, as previously mentioned give you 10 years instead of 5, and hopefully by then he'll need a new computer ;). It's very easy.

Oct 31, 2021 at 17:34 comment added Will I’ve got no experience of this; 16.04LTS is out of standard support - but you can still subscribe to extended security maintenance (ESM) - that would provide nearly 5 years more support. For an individual it’s free, and I think you could set it up remotely. I’ve not put this as an answer as I have no experience at all with ESM - I don’t know if it would work, but if it did it would at least give you 4 1/2 years to talk your father into a fully supported version! Any experienced users know if this would sort it?
