The error you're seeing is simply telling you that you didn't buy enough
entitlements to register another system to RHN (as in all the entitlements
bought are already consumed).

Given you just reinstalled your system, which I assume was previously
registered with RHN, you simply need to log into RHN at https://rhn.redhat.com/,
delete the previous system profile (which now is no longer active) and
free up the entitlement you need for successful registration.

Otherwise, there's not much I can do about this bug report. Closing w/ notabug.
