7.4.6.1. Managing 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
link at the top-right corner.
Warning
In addition to the fields listed below, RHN Satellite customers may also populate
the
Key
field itself. This user-defined string of characters can then be supplied
with
rhnreg_ks
to register client systems with the Satellite.
Do not insert
commas in the key.
All other characters are accepted. Commas are problematic
since they are the separator used when including two or more activation keys
at once. Refer to
Section 7.4.6.2, “Using Multiple Activation Keys at Once —
”
for details.
3. Provide the following information:
•
Description
— User-defined description to identify the generated activation key.
•
Usage Limit
— The maximum number of registered systems that can be registered to the
activation key at any one time. Leave blank for unlimited use. Deleting a system profile reduces
the usage count by one and registering a system profile with the key increases the usage count
by one.
•
Base Channel
— The primary channel for the key. Selecting nothing will enable you to select
from all child channels, although systems can be subscribed to only those that are applicable.
•
Add-on Entitlements
— The supplemental entitlements for the key, which includes Monitoring,
Provisioning, Virtualization, and Virtualization Platform. All systems will be given these
entitlements with the key.
•
Universal default
— Whether or not this key should be considered the primary activation key
for your organization.
