rh satellite - licensing

Hey all,

Red Hat Satellite licensing is confusing me — what do I actually need?

I have a Red Hat Developer subscription (16 nodes) and I want to use Satellite to manage patching across my RHEL servers. Can I not just use one of the nodes as a satellite server? or would I need some other specific license to be able to ? I cannot find enough info in the rh docs about it specifically.

I also noticed there is a 60 day evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which presumably includes "Access to Red Hat Satellite and Red Hat Lightspeed", that different from the dev account I have.

Anybody can shed some light? Thx so much!
