No. Your license is for the software + support. You can't get a license for 
just the software. When you buy one license, you agree that RH can audit you 
in the future and bill you for any machines which you've installed RHEL on 
but haven't subscribed to support.

No. You just violated your client's license to use RHN unless the systems
you copied to have support contracts. You can do that for RHL, but not for
RHEL.
