New licensing policy 2005-12-20 - By Jussi Silvennoinen
Back
Just ran into a new policy regarding subscription start dates when buying
directly from Redhat (Europe).
I wanna buy 60 rhel subscriptions in 40+10+10 superkey chunks. For some
inconceivable reason, I'm required report the registration start dates in
advance for each chunk. And of course, the chunks will be activated
according to the schedule I specify, no deviations allowed.
This sucks beyond words.
Maybe this is a push to move customers to deal with local resellers
or something, I dunno. Maybe RH has a problem beneath the veil
(subscription stockpiling I heard in passing) and this is their way of
trying to fix it. In the old way, I'm in charge, not RH.
Why am I doing business directly with RH? I have no need for an extra pair
of email-hops between me and the vendor, slowing things down. But in the
new subscription schema, I'm forced to buy from the resellers because
when I buy through them, the subscription start date restrictions are not
enforced.
