Hello, I have looked at the pricing for SuSE Enterprise 8 and it looks like the majority of the cost is for the maintenance and support. Is it legal to obtain one copy of the software and install it on multiple servers. Thanks for the feedback. Robert

This isn't really the best place to ask this (that would be your friendly neighbourhood SuSE Sales Rep/Channel Partner), but I believe it is, although you'll only get support for one of those systems.

You can install it on as many servers as you want - but you would probably want to keep the system up-to-date at least as far as security fixes are concerned. And that's where you need the maintenance. For each machine that you want to use. Whether or not you want additional support contracts is up to you. Greetings from Bremen hartmut
