Re: Plea for a reasonable RHASv3 license option

[Daniel Wittenberg <daniel-wittenberg starken com>]

So you are saying that you buy an additional RHN license besides the RHN license
that comes with AS?  So you want less support than what comes with "Standard
Edition"?  To me it sounds like you are buying more than you need to, but maybe
I don't understand.
