Sorry, I don't see any difference :-)
If I didn't buy RH AS from RH I have no obligitaions from Service Agreement,
right?
Again, I can buy RH AS for one firm and use it in another having service for
first firm. I even can not to install RH AS if first firm, but I'll have
installation ;-)

The initial number of Installed Servers is the number of copies of Advanced
Server that Customer purchases.

Alternatively, I can buy RH AS for myself and have no installations (I use
win98 at home ;-) ),
but install it (as many copies as I need) at work.

btw, there is no Service Agreement for Russia on redhat.com.
AFAIK, Service Agreement for US is not compatible with russian law,
so ... :-)))
