# Ordering Caveonix RiskForesight
{: #caveonix_ordering}

As of 17 July 2025, new automated installations of Red Hat® OpenShift® for VMware® are no longer available for new or existing deployments of VMware Cloud Foundation for Classic - Automated instances. You can still use or delete your existing Red Hat OpenShift for VMware automated installations until 16 July 2026. The service will no longer be available from 17 July 2026.
{: deprecated}

You can include the Caveonix RiskForesight™ service with a new VMware Cloud Foundation for Classic - Automated instance, or add the service to your existing instance.

* For VCF for Classic - Automated instances, Caveonix RiskForesight generates a license for the number of VMs (virtual machines) that you select.
* For Regulated Workloads and Security and Compliance Readiness Bundle instances, Caveonix RiskForesight offers per-host licensing. You are charged for every host in the instance, which includes management, workload, and gateway clusters.
