No. It has been a while but I'm pretty sure when I installed on a
laptop I ended up with rhel-beta.repo and all I did was to set
enabled=1 in the [rhel-beta] section to be able to install additional
packages.   Yum complains that the system is 'not registered' if I try
to update (and there aren't any updates), but installing packages
works.

That repo file came from this package:
yum info redhat-release-everything
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You
can use subscription-manager to register.
