RH licensing under Vmware

[Mertens, Bram]

Disclaimer: I do not work Red Hat, the following is in no way official or binding.

RHEL licensing has changed recently (March 1st 2011).

As I wrote earlier on this list I received a presentation from our account manager but I'm certainly not the right person to distribute such information.

Please check http://www.redhat.com/rhel/purchasing_guide.html and http://www.redhat.com/licenses/ and I also suggest to contact your Red Hat account manager.

What I can say is:
* New model is based on number of sockets (2, 4 or 8)
* New model is based on RHEL subscriptions including Virtual Guests (1, 4 or unlimited)

Regards

Bram
