This is a request to port new functionality back to RHEL 5. RHEL 5 is currently supporting security fixes only so we are closing this issue.

Comment 2 Barnaby Court 2016-02-04 20:29:45 UTC

one option would be to run the migration tool while disabling auto attach, "rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm --no-auto" and then perform a registration manually with "subscription-manager register --force  --activation-key <key>" after the migration script is run.
