Our servers are HP DL580’s and they have 6 CPU’s. The RHEL licensing is
confusing, can anyone explain it?
I believe it is confusing on purpose...
The last time I looked into this, this is how RedHat licenses worked ; note
that buying one RedHat license could be quite the liability, something to be
very careful with. Here's my understanding:
-RHES is free to be used
-you can buy support from RedHAt, also call license, but really what you buy
is support
-*IF* you buy support from RedHat, *ALL installed RHES installed in your
company* need to be under support. i.e.: If you have 50 server running RHES,
and you want to buy support for 1, or 2, or 10 servers, you cannot. The
support contract (also called license) specifies that you have to buy it for
all installed RHES in your company, so in this case 50.
-it is perfectly legal not to buy any, but if you buy one, you agree to buy
one for each copy of RHES running in your company.
