Doc Text:
.The deprecated `--token` option of `subscription-manager register` will stop working at the end of November 2024 The deprecated `--token=<TOKEN>` option of the `subscription-manager register` command will no longer be a supported authentication method from the end of November 2024. The default entitlement server, `subscription.rhsm.redhat.com`, will no longer be allowing token-based authentication. As a consequence, if you use `subscription-manager register --token=<TOKEN>`, the registration will fail with the following error message: ---- Token authentication not supported by the entitlement server ---- To register your system, use other supported authorization methods, such as including paired options `--username / --password` OR `--org / --activationkey` with the `subscription-manager register` command.
