Re: [rhn-users] Charging for Updates ?

[Chris Stankaitis <chris stankaitis datawire net>]

There are many different incarnations of RHN depending on your needs and 
the needs of your company, anything above the demo account will cost, 
the basic RHN just allows you to have as many servers listed under the 
same management accout as you have bought Entitlement.

One of the main features of the next level above basic (there are lots 
of extra little goodies but the following is IMHO the big advantages) is 
that you can define multiple users, and group your servers allowing you 
to push updates to all servers in the same group at the same time (which 
is a great time saver if you say have 80 servers that ALL need the same 
patch).

There is an incarnation of RHN which allows what your asking below, it 
is an enterprise level service, and does have a cost involved, but as 
for the specifics you would be best to talk to a sales person at RedHat 
if you need that level of enterprise management.
