Description Rich Jerrido 2016-06-08 22:13:12 UTC

Suggestions for improvement: This KCS (https://access.redhat.com/articles/1554633) contains a very detailed overview and deep dive into how activation keys work in Satellite 6.1 and newer. This RFE requests incorporating this content into the Server Admin Guide.

Comment 1 Peter Ondrejka 2016-06-09 08:57:33 UTC

Changing component to Host Configuration guide where we have a section on AKs that should be extended with above information:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/version-6.2-beta/host-configuration-guide/#chap-Red_Hat_Satellite-Host_Configuration_Guide-Configuring_Activation_Keys

Also note that the actual CLI examples of the three scenarios described in the KCS already live in the Hammer guide:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2-beta/hammer-cli-guide/chapter-6-managing-activation-keys
