    The subscription agreement states that you must have a valid
    subscription for *all* systems that are running Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux. You can subscribe none or all - you may not subscribe a subset
    of your systems.

    The subscription agreement is the same whether you purchase a boxed set
    or download the ISOs.

    According to the EULA (at least the US version), it states:

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

    This means that if you want to run multiple copies of RHEL, you must
    purchase a subscription for them.

    Please note that I am not a lawyer and I don't work for Red Hat.
