Disclaimer: I do not work Red Hat, the following is in no way official or binding. RHEL licensing has changed recently (March 1st 2011). As I wrote earlier on this list I received a presentation from our account manager but I'm certainly not the right person to distribute such information. Please check http://www.redhat.com/rhel/purchasing_guide.html and http://www.redhat.com/licenses/ and I also suggest to contact your Red Hat account manager. What I can say is: * New model is based on number of sockets (2, 4 or 8) * New model is based on RHEL subscriptions including Virtual Guests (1, 4 or unlimited) Regards Bram > Mazda Motor Logistics Europe NV, Blaasveldstraat 162, B-2830 Willebroek VAT BE 0406.024.281, RPR Mechelen, ING 310-0092504-52, IBAN : BE64 3100 0925 0452, SWIFT : BBRUBEBB -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list- > bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mr. Paul M.
