Hello IIUC, we need to find all places were the use of activation keys on hosts is mentioned, and find a suitable place to warn that "a certain version" is required. I think the version required is subscription-manager-1.10+ The Host Configuration Guide has: Automated Host Registration with Activation Keys [1] But I think a note at the beginning of the chapter [2] would be better [1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/host-configuration-guide/65-automated-host-registration-with-activation-keys [2] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/host-configuration-guide/chapter-6-configuring-activation-keys Assigning to Julie for review. Julie - looks like we'll need to add a comment at the start of the chapter on configuring activation keys ([2] above) telling users they need subscription-manager version 1.10 or above for everything to work as anticipated. hi team, I've reviewed this bug and checked the default subcription-manager version in the RHEL 7 and RHEL 6.7 (which is a quite old version of the 6.x) and they are all subscription-manager-1.14 or above, so I don't think adding a note about subscription-manager-1.10 makes sense anymore. This is a pretty old bug after all. I'll leave this bug opened for a few more days in case anyone has other feedback. Kind regards, Julie Hello Julie The important thing is what versions of RHEL hosts might be used by a Sat6 user. Unless the Sat6 docs say RHEL6.0 and RHEL5 are not supported then then this bug is valid. You could also try to find out which versions of RHEL did not already have subscription-manager-1.10 or higher when they were released.
