Request an evaluation subscription If you do not have an existing subscription for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can request a complimentary self-supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux evaluation to gain access to all Red Hat Enterprise Linux products including RHEL 8.4 Beta. Once the evaluation subscription has been added to your Red Hat account, you can then visit the main Red Hat Enterprise Linux page to get started.
