4.4.7. Activation Keys
RHN Enterprise customers can generate activation keys through the RHN website. Each unique key
can then be used to register the RHL system, entitle the system to RHN Enterprise, and subscribe the
system to specific channels and system groups through the command line utility
rhnreg_ks
from
the
rhn_register
package. Thus, channel and group subscriptions can be automated along with
registration, thereby bypassing running the Red Hat Network Registration Client on each client
system and entitling each system through the RHN website.
Note
Version 2.7.20 or higher of the
rhn_register
package is required. It is highly recommended you
obtain the latest version before using activation keys.
To generate an activation key:
1. Select Systems => Activation Keys from the top and left navigation bars.
2. Click the
create new key
button at top-left.
3. Provide the following information:
•
