Hi Jon,
I am not a lawyer, however I believe that you can - per direction from
RH legal at the Summit - but IF AND ONLY IF you have *no* currently
subscribed systems. That is the barrier to not being bound to the
subscription agreement, which states 1 machine takes 1 entitlement.
The agreement applies to an entity, not an installation - therefore if
you have even a single subscription, all installations in your
organization require a subscription.
This looks perfectly reasonable and legal, but many times Red Hat people
told me (as a customer) that I didn't need entitlements for
non-production systems, like a staging server to apply upgades before
installing then on production servers, a lab network where we test new
firewall rules, or the system where we install a third-party application
just to try before buying.
But this may be wrong just as when some says you can't install anything
without a valid subscription. :-)
[]s, Fernando Lozano
