6.6. Entitling Your System
Now that you have registered your system, it must be entitled before you can receive updated pack-
ages. In other words, you must subscribe it to a service level offering. Everyone automatically receives
one free Demo entitlement after creating an account by registering a system for RHN or creating a
redhat.com account.
To entitle a system, go to http://rhn.redhat.com and log in using the same username and password you
just used in the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
. Click
Systems
on the top navigation bar and
then
Systems Entitlements
in the left navigation bar. The
System Entitlements
page displays the
number of available entitlements, or subscriptions, at the bottom.
If you have one or more subscriptions left, make a selection from the dropdown menu under the
Entitlement
column beside the name of the system you just registered. Only increases in entitlement
levels are allowed. Systems cannot be re-entitled to a lower entitlement level. For instance, a system
entitled to the Update service level can be promoted to the Management level, but this action cannot
be reversed. Then click the
Update Entitlements
button at the bottom of the page.
Warning
Changing a system’s entitlement is an irreversible action. You may be unable to change the entitle-
ment levels of some systems. For more information, refer to the RHN entitlement policy linked from
the
System Entitlements
page.
The number of entitlements remaining decreases, and your system becomes ready to use the
Red Hat
Update Agent
and RHN website. Refer to Chapter 2
Red Hat Update Agent
and Chapter 4
Red Hat
Network Website
for details on how to use them. If you do not have any entitlements left, click the
Buy them now
link at the top of the
System Entitlements
page to purchase additional subscriptions.
