I think it's worth noting that there's a bit of additional irony here. We only purchased the Basic version of Workstation for which, it seems, the management module is not even an option. Wow this is old. You can always use a registration key that allows you to specify the entitlement level. If that is not satisfactory, please feel free to reopen this bug, and we will consider it as an enhancement request.

Our confirmation of purchase was simply that RHN showed we had X number of entitlements for each of the versions we subscribed. But any way, it's now a moot point since we decided not to go with the management entitlements when we renewed a couple months ago. However the inability to downgrade had a bad effect even then. It was most unpleasant to discover that instead of downgrading our registered machines, all of our existing registrations (over 100) were marked unentitled, with no warning whatsoever in spite that we did renew the Update subscriptions on time. It was incredibly irritating to have our users complain that up2date was no longer working for them and then to log in to RHN see all those gray X's. Fortunately I found the entitlement management page and was able to redo them in bulk. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707 Description of problem: Detail also available in Red Hat support request #351616 I have 6 management entitlements out of about 250 total entitlements (a mix of ES and WS). I would like to limit the use of the management entitlements to a small set of critical systems. However, not all those systems are deployed yet. Since the first six systems registered (only two of which fit my critical system criteria) got the management entitlement, and because I cannot down grade an entitlement on line, I have to remember to remove their profiles and then register the newly deployed critical system as well as reregister the one whose profile I removed. This is unnecessarily painful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Remove profile from RHN 2.Reregister system 3.Log into RHN see that system has management entitlement Additional info:
