RHEL License issue

[Steven Jones]

My understanding is you need a licence/subscription per production
server (and even one for each server for testing purposes which seems a
bit harsh)

Once setup in rhn.redhat.com, you will only be able to patch one server
using up2date if you only have one licence key. The rest will not get a
subscription channel so will not be patchable, and indeed will not show
any patches as being needed.

You can install thousands of redhat servers off the one cd, indeed I
have 30 something servers built via kickstart off the same CD, but they
all have a individual registered licence each.

I also understand that if you have an AS3 key, it is OK to install AS4,
(or even as2.1) you cannot install ES3 or ES4 though (ie downgrade on
the fly) as you will not have a licence.

The sales people at redhat should be able to tell you all this.

Steven aka Thing

Dear All ,

  Can we installed single copy of RHEL v3.0 in more than one server.Is
it legal ? Except it we downloaded RHEL v 4.0 from RHN through redhat's
subscrition model and using it in our produion servers(more than one).Is
the subscription licence and EULA are diffrent for purchased copy and
dowloaded copy?
  According to  EULA , we are restricted to redistribute or resell RHEL
with Redhat trademarks.But unable to find license policies for multiple
installation from single copy of RHEL.
(http://www.redhat.com/licenses/rhel_rha_eula.html)

What's yr suggestions ?.

Regards
Ritesh Agrawal
