Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the "install-num-migrate-to-rhsm" utility did not work correctly for certain products. Consequently, the utility installed also a superfluous Desktop product certificate when the system was provided with an installation number for a Workstation product and vice versa. With this update, "install-num-migrate-to-rhsm" has been fixed and only the correct product certificate is now installed under these circumstances.
