    You're free to contact your legal department or Red Hat's
    (legal@redhat.com). However, section 4 of the RHEL subscription
    agreement reads:

    "4. REPORTING AND AUDIT. If Customer wishes to increase the number of
    Installed System, then Customer will purchase from Red Hat additional
    Services for each additional Installed System."

    What Red Hat wants to prevent is that you have 100 identical servers, 1
    subscription, and it just so happens that the system that has the
    problem is always the one that has the subscription. They end up
    effectively providing support for your 100 systems but receive revenue
    for only 1.
