    RHEL Server Licensing for VM's

    Posted on

    Linux experience: moderate
    RHEL experience: minimal
    Issue:
    I have to test my device driver on 6.4, 6.5, 7.*, for both x86 & x64. I'll be creating VM's for these instances and plan to cycle thru (start/test/stop) the list in an automated fashion. I was intending to do this with 1 RedHat license but I don't see how that could possibly work. The RHN Classic subscription is by system name and it's associated channel.
    I was going to use system names like:
    rhel64x86
    rhel64x64
    rhel65x86
    rhel65x64
    ....

    My current assumption: I have to register a VM as I would any RHEL system in order to get updates.

    Would some one share the technique or logic required to accomplish this with 1 license?
    Thanks in advance for your time.
