Figure 6.6. Activation Keys
After creating the unique key, it appears in the list of activation keys along with the number of
times it has been used. Note that only Activation Key Administrators can see this list. At this
point, you may associate child channels and groups with the key so that systems registered with
it automatically subscribe to them.
To change information about a key, such as the channels or groups, click its description in the
key list, make your modifications in the appropriate tab, and click the Update Key button. To
disassociate channels and groups from a key, deselect them in their respective menus by
Ctrl-clicking their highlighted names. To remove a key entirely, click the delete key link in the
top-right corner of the edit page.
A system may be set to subscribe to a base channel during registration with an activation key.
However, if the activation key specifies a base channel that is not compatible with the operating
system of the systems, the registration fails. For example, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS v.4 for
x86 system cannot register with an Activation Key that specifies a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES
v.4 for x86 base channel. A system is always allowed to subscribe to a custom base channel.
