Description Matt Reid 2012-08-21 20:34:56 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently if someone has a subscription expire on them, and they go to My Installed Products, they'll see the generic "you have a product without a subscription" message. It'd be nicer if we instead showed a custom string that says they had a subscription expire. 

We should also include a status message for expiring subscriptions.

I'd like to talk about how we handle expired subscriptions as well, I'm not sure blanking all data in the table except for saying "Expired" is the best approach, it could be useful to keep the dates there, so they easily know how long ago the subscription expired. It could be beneficial to keep the expired cert around until either they attach a new subscription, or x days have gone by, rather than automatically cleaning up the cert on the next check-in.


Expired Strings:
"1 subscription expired."
"2 subscriptions expired."

Expiring Strings:
"1 subscription expiring."
"2 subscriptions expiring."

Then they could glance down at the table and see when they expired by looking at the date ranges, and click on the subscription for potentially more information.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for 
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Since we are unable to provide this feature at this time,  
it has been proposed for the next release of 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

We should be able to get this in for 6.4.

It is very hard to tell what is expired from the client, because expired certs get cleaned up.
