Well, the entitlement you have received should allow you to install RHEL-6 on a physical machine. On this machine you should be able to install a RHEL-5 in KVM. The RHEL-5 guest will 'inherit' the entitlement from the RHEL-6 host, no additional entitlements needed. For this to work correctly, the RHEL-6 host must be marked as Virtualization Platform (or something like that) in Red Hat Network. Maybe the following Knowledgebase article can help you here: - https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/9932 You should be able to access Red Hat Network and the Knowledgebase part of https://access.redhat.com with your RHN-login.
