A few years ago, I vaguely recall some issue with RHEL needing a special license or something like that, if you had more than a certain amount of CPU's or a certain amount of RAM. Does Centos work fine for 2 CPU's, 16 cores, 32 threads, and 256 G of ram? Centos6 specifically.

But I currently have a rhel6 system with 128G, so ... Don't know what to think about that... https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product and https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-limits

But the question still stands - In the past, I think there was a limitation of RHEL ES, and if you went over that, you needed RHEL AS. As far as I can tell, there is no such distinction (and never has been) in centos. For that matter, as I browse redhat.com right now, it's not clear that they have any such distinction anymore either.
