The developer program agreement forbids you from using this for test or production installations [1]:
"By participating in the Program and accepting these terms, you represent that you will be using the Red Hat Subscriptions(s) for development purposes only, and Red Hat is relying on your representation as a condition of our providing you access to the Subscription(s). If you use the Red Hat Subscriptions for any other purposes, you are in violation of Red Hat’s Enterprise Agreement set forth below and are required to pay the applicable subscription fee"

- nxzero 11y agoRight, that's by definition what a "developer license" means; realize that this may not be common knownledge, but comment reads to me as if this was some form of trickery, which it clearly is not.
- vollmond 11y agoThough I am surprised to see "test" not included in the dev license. Aren't they usually lumped together?
- mkj 11y agoMaybe they are worried about perpetual beta sites.
- jdmichal 11y agoIf it's externally accessible to customers, it's production. Whether you call your served content beta is irrelevant.
- pionar 11y agoIt doesn't mention test at all in the agreement, I don't know what OP's talking about. It only forbids production installations.
- CraigJPerry 11y agoIn my experience, I've always got the dev / test env licences for free anyway when paying for prod / dr. It's a checkbox in some companies procurement method, in the same way many require source code escrow just to do business.
- dpeterson 11y agoPretty sure it means you can't have servers running your tests that prepare your production code for deployment. Maybe you use RHEL to run Openshift 3 with containers spinning up a test environment to run acceptance tests exactly like production before deploying the same containers on the production machines. Not allowed with the free dev license.
- 2close4comfort 11y agoBut what if I only test in Production? Achievement Unlocked!
- nxzero 11y agoCleverness and semantics aside, be warned that if you do "testing" that per the agreement, the developer edition "may not address known security vulnerabilities." Seems like it'd just make more sense to expect if you're getting value from this that will transition to "production like use" on RHEL, you should plan to pay for it; either in cash, or dealing with the lack of security patches.
- edwintorok 11y agoCentOS gets security updates though, so would this miss security updates delivered to CentOS?
- nxzero 11y agoStopped using CentOS, and have no idea what value if any the RHEL dev subscripion would have someone using both; yes, I'm aware of the relation between the two, just never looked into it.
- TallGuyShort 11y agoI wonder if this prohibits use as a primary workstation?
