Hi,
In RedHat subscription license model you should buy a subscription per server (not per cpu or something).
With this subscription (basic,standard or premium) you have access to RedHat Network for 1,3 or 5 years.
You are able to download any version of your channel which you bought (as,es or ws).

But the think is if you have no RedHat support its meaningless to use it. If you are advanced level then you
can re-compile SRPMs and make your own RPMs. But if you are using Oracle or something else those companies has
requirements as "you should have registered RedHat" at least for latest updates and support.

But if you dont want to have RedHat support and the latest updates you can use it,
RedHat sells only support and updates nothing else. Most of the softwares in RedHat distro are licensed with GPL.
