subscription question


If I purchased the $49 desktop subscription to RHEL 6 how many computers does that licence?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should ask that question directly to a RedHat representative. I know for a fact that RedHat is open to negotiate a price. The more computers you add to the install list, the cheaper the price-per-machine becomes. The University that I worked at had a yearly contract price that covered every computer on campus running RHEL.

You're not paying for the operating system directly, you're paying for the update service that follows. And in an enterprise, production system, it's worth the money.

The desktop subscription is for a single system with one or two sockets for one year.
