Unlike typical activation keys, which are not associated with a specific system ID, keys created here
do not show up within the
Activation Keys
page.
Warning
When kickstarting a system with its existing RHN profile, the kickstart profile uses the
system-specific activation key created here to re-register the system and return its
other RHN settings. For this reason, you should not regenerate, delete, or use this key
(with
rhnreg_ks
) while a profile-based kickstart is in progress. If you do, the kickstart
will fail.
