  • Questions about RHEL installations and transferring

    Posted on

    Hi,

    I recently signed up for RHEL Developer subscription and downloaded RHEL Server. At first, I ended up installing the OS as a VirtualBox guest at work because that's where I had initially downloaded the ISO. Then I thought that it needed to be installed on regular hardware but wanted it to be mobile. It's now installed on a laptop.

    I didn't receive any warnings when installing on the laptop, like 'Hey, you've already installed this OS once in a VM!' or something like that. So I read through some online documentation but it still didn't make sense where and how many times I can install the free to developers RHEL.

    1. Can I keep it installed at both my work VM and my laptop?

    2. Can I install it onto a tower while still using on my laptop and the VM?

    3. If number 3 is not allowed, can I stop using the VM install and install onto a tower PC and still use both laptop and tower installs?

    Thank you.
