I am not a lawyer, however I believe that you can - per direction from
RH legal at the Summit - but IF AND ONLY IF you have *no* currently
subscribed systems. That is the barrier to not being bound to the
subscription agreement, which states 1 machine takes 1 entitlement.

Well, that makes sense, thanks you :-)

Now if Red Hat would only furnish a reasonable RHN interface where you
could map orders to
entitlements and entitlements to machines and synchronize the expiration
dates (come on Red Hat).
But that's another story.

Seconded. Although we just reworked our procedures internally to work
around this -- it was a pain in the *** before to have to track which
department paid for what. All you had to go on was a big blob of 100
entitlements or whatever with no real idea which entitlements went to
who.

You _can_ use satellite to store something like a PO number with an
individual system, but there's no integrated way to do any sort of
tracking on entitlements alone so you have to track it on your own. :(
