The best advertising would be releasing RHEL 8 for free for personal usage. I wonder, how much workstation licenses ($300 per year) they are selling.

Try the developer download: https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download

I would want to use it on at least 3 computers. I don't think that developer license allows that. And registering 3 different accounts probably is abuse of that system. Also I don't really do any development for RHEL, just using it for my personal computing needs.

I have a dev license and I can register 16 systems. Your mileage may vary, but it never hurts to try.

I have a single server in my house. Mostly used to back up all my different devices and to run Plex. I run CentOS today. I am not clear on the restrictions and if I would be allowed to use the free RHEL.

With the hassle (subscriptions, restrictions etc..) it isn't worth it.

I do wish RHEL would allow it for usage that doesn't make money, like personal servers.

Do you get updates on the dev license?

Yes
