Thanks for the reply... my RH sales rep is telling me differently
though.
They are trying to tell me that one set of "CD's" (installation media
of whatever form) can only be used for one installation.
Or to put it another way, for each installation of RHEL we have, we
should have a corresponding entitlement purchased at some point (even
if it has expired).
I could see this perhaps if:
- They don't allow redistribution of their compiled binaries as
provided on the CD's or in the ISO's
- There is some software that cannot be redistributed on the CD's.
In this case this software would need to be removed first negating
the ability to use the media to install to multiple machines
without an entitlement.
Maybe I need a RH Legal contact to clarify this. It would be nice to
know for _sure_. :)
