We're clearly not talking about the same thing. This thread is titled "Red Hat Professional Workstation". That product, just like RHEL AS/ES/WS, includes one year of RHN. The interesting thing is the upgrade/update option after one year, e.g. rebate upon renewal of RHPW subscription or upon upgrade to WS. Jeremy Hogan, Manager of Community Relations at Red Hat, writes that currently it's 50% off upon upgrade to RHEL WS. I've went through all messages in this thread once more and fail to see where your "RHEL one-time costs" and things like that come from. --
