RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sayli Karmarkar 2008-10-27 22:03:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
rhn_register gui and tui do not give any warning when zero management entitlements
are available but channel entitlements are available. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.7.1-17.el4
up2date-gnome-4.7.1-17.el4

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an org with 1 management and 5 channel entitlement available.
2. rhn_register (tui or gui)
3. This will work and will exaust management entitlements.
4. rhn_register (tui or gui)
  
Actual results:
It will register system without any proper warning on gui or tui so as to let the user know that they need management entitlements.

Expected results:
It should give warning while registering system similar to warning generated when management entitlements are exhausted and activation key is configured as universal default. 

"Your organization does not have enough Management entitlements to register this
    system to Red Hat Network. Please notify your organization administrator of this error. 
    You should be able to register this system after your organization frees existing 
    or purchases additional entitlements. Additional entitlements may be purchased by your
    organization administrator by logging into Red Hat Network and visiting
    the 'Subscription Management' page in the 'Your RHN' section of RHN.
    
    A common cause of this error code is due to having mistakenly setup an
    Activation Key which is set as the universal default.  If an activation key is set
    on the account as a universal default, you can disable this key and retry to avoid
    requiring a Management entitlement."

Moving to RHEL 4.9 - this has been a long standing item within the code for up2date. Not sure we will want to address this.
Comment 7 Miroslav Suchý 2012-06-18 20:09:11 UTC 
This is still in current code. Changing to RHEL6.
Comment 9 Clifford Perry 2012-08-06 08:10:31 UTC 
Devel nack. No customers pushing this. A nice-to-have. This type of issue is resolved within subscription-managers way of doing entitlements.
Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2012-08-06 08:27:41 UTC
