Hi Ryan,

Yes, the (free no-cost, I assume that's what you are talking about) developer program subscription expires after one year, but you can easily renew your subscription by signing in to developers.redhat.com and accept the current T&C's after the expiration took effect. :)

Regards,
Christian

What I forgot to mention, Ryan : As you can read in the FAQ: no-cost RHEL Developer Subscription - the no-cost developer edition is meant to be used for development purposes only - which would not be exactly the same as learning for RHCSA and RHCE studies. :)

Christian

No worries mate, i read the following and thought it would be okay but wanted to make sure i cross my t's when it comes to reading the fine print:

"Can I use this subscription for testing as well as development?"

The no-cost Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite may be used for development and single-user testing per Appendix 1 of the the Red Hat subscription agreement."

As well as appendix 1

“Development Purposes” means using the Software for the specific purpose of (a) individual developers writing software code, (b) singleuser prototyping, quality assurance or testing and/or (c) demonstrating software or hardware that runs with or on the Software"

"Who should join? (Red Hat Developer Program is for you) Join if you’re a developer, software engineer, web designer, front end designer, UX designer, computer scientist, architect, tester, product manager, project manager or team lead. (Not one of these? Want to be? Close enough? Then you’re welcome, too.)"

If i shouldn't be using it for home testing ill just switch gears to centos :)

Cheers

Hi Ryan,

I just wanted to provide you with a complete information because this has been discussed here before.
There are a lot of new users who are not aware of the T&C content and what the subscription includes.
Anyway, I think I answered your main question in my first response and hope that it was useful for you.

Cheers :)

Developers test at home I'm sure too.

I think so too, RJ - I'm doing the same ... but when I'm not sure if I "cross the border", I test things on CentOS. :)

Regards,
Christian

Some companies expect their employees to work at home, or just hire them to work from home as well.

Accounts until now do not contain registration locations of the servers, workstations or desktops (unless you use public ip-addresses). Only locations of the customer main seat.
