"New Year, new Red Hat Enterprise Linux programs: Easier ways to access RHEL"
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/new-year-new-red-hat-enterprise-linux-program...
It came out a few weeks ago but the program is live as of yesterday.
In short:
Register at https://developers.redhat.com/register
You'll now see a developer subscription allowing up to 16 systems listed at https://access.redhat.com/management/subscriptions
Download and install from https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download
sudo subscription-manager register --username $USERNAME (where $USERNAME is the email address you registered with)
and there you go.
It says "Developer Subscription" but the new terms allow each individual to have up to 16 systems for production use. See the (single page) terms here:
I would not use it for production, or commercial purposes, just so I have the same at home (or close) as at work. I wonder, does that mean you can have up to 16 licensed servers/workstations running at a time? Or over time, when you discard equipment, and need to install another machine/desktop, whatever by the time you're at 17 start paying?
(I am checking that with a redhat rep that we have at work too).

It may also be of interest to note something which I hadn't realized before: this subscription includes the "EUS" offering which provides security updates to select minor releases (so you can "pin" to that minor release), which is something CentOS never did.
