Description of problem: Couple of days back, my RHEL desktop crashed and I had to reinstall the same installation package, with the same subscription / installation number (3f1102e73f12c503). When I tried to register my system back to RHN, it is giving me an error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I tried to register using the command on terminal: $rhnreg_kr --username=alex_palvai --password=****** Steps to Reproduce: 1. @ CLI 2. Command: rhnreg_kr --username=alex_palvai --password=****** 3. Generates an error message, given as below Actual results: Error: Insufficient Software Channel Entitlements: cfid5482 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (core client) note: One of the above Software Channel Entitlement(s) are required to provides access to: cid6945 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64) Error Class Code: 70 Error Class Info: All available subscriptions for the requested channel have been exhausted. Please contact a Red Hat Network Sales associate. Explanation: An error has occurred while processing your request. If this problem persists please enter a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com. If you choose to submit the bug report, please be sure to include details of what you were trying to do when this error occurred and details on how to reproduce this problem. Expected results: Additional info:
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with RHN, you simply need to log into RHN at https://rhn.redhat.com/, delete the previous system profile (which now is no longer active) and free up the entitlement you need for successful registration.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.
