Some of that is still being worked on. There are upgrades from RHPW to RHEL WS, but I also expect to see annual resubscriptions to RHN. Like I said, it's still unknown. I'm not convinced that Red Hat really knows yet what happens after year 1. It's not that they don't want to tells us - it's that they don't know what they want to offer a year from now. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
