I have a fedora but I’m curious about Red Hat Enterprise Linux because they say fedora is a community version of red hat. I pirated Windows in years and it’s really easy but is there any way to crack RHEL? I know it’s not magical and I can use a free distro and have anything I need but for the sake of curiosity I need to try red hat linux and test it to find out how much effort they put on an enterprise product. I also know that there is a trial version or something but it’s good for me to learn cracking that (if it’s possible) because my future possibilities.

So please don’t tell me that doing this is not necessary or get the trial version, just be kind and provide what you know about pirating RedHat Enterprise Linux.

    I think when you pay RHEL you mostly pay for support, custom dev and stuff like that so I would say it’s really not worth the trouble getting the software.

    You do realize that RHEL is open source, right? The “pirating” has already been done by RockyLinux (formerly CentOS).

    Pirating linux…that is a concept you don’t come across everyday. Dude, just move off of Red Hat and onto a linux distribution that is not a corporate mega-whatever. Debian, Arch…take your pick. Open source is free ship that lets you pirate from the corporate/priopriatary seas. Don’t make it harder.

      I want to make it harder. It’s the only big paid distro out there and I wish to claim it. But they say I can install the OS free but taking support and installing packages require subscription so it seems my goal is just an illusion. But thanks for giving advice bro.
