Hi,

Thanks a lot for answers.

I am not trying to avoid Red Hat, I am trying actually to buy it :)

There are few boxes in my new company, installed long ago, without
subscription. I want to make a case out of it and subscribe all of
them. Before I do that, I wanted to collect all facts, since it
confused me why and how 4 processor boxes run enterprise instead of
advanced server.

One final question. I think someone downloaded trial version of Red
Hat, installed it, saw it works and left it. So is it legal at all,
since those are boxes that never had proper subscription, just trial
for 30 days ? Legal in law terms, I know that Red Hat does not like it
:) If not, what laws are broken ? I need precise answer on this, since
this can be main argument for me.

Also, what with boxes with expired subscription after one/two/three
years, is it sill legal to use them ?

Best regards,
Dusan
