License question, I think...
I recently purchase a one-year subscription to RHEL Workstation. There are some details which I'd like to understand and don't know where to look for the answers.
- I have a desktop and a laptop. Does my subscription allow me to install RHEL on both?
- What happens if I need to reinstall for any reason?
I guess the question is, how do I manage the right to recieve updates during the subscription period.
Thanks in advance for any help to clear this up.
Best,
Alex

Hi Alex, two bare-metal systems would require two subscriptions. You only have ability to update one machine with a single subscription, unless you have a subscription with virtual instances included. Re-installing shouldn't be an issue. Hope this helps!

Thank you.
Anything I can read regarding the cost and application of these virtual instances?

Alex, give the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Datasheet a look, and if you have any other questions our Sales teams would love to talk to you. :-)
Andrius,
I know this discussion is almost two years old but, am I not allowed to install a subscription on a Production server and on a Development server for said production server?

Each individual hardware system requires an entitlement.
You might choose differently-priced entitlements though, for example purchase Premium to get 24x7 assistance on critical production issues, but Standard for assistance on the Development server during business hours only.
