5.6. Entitling Your System

Now that you have registered your system, it must be entitled before you can receive up-
dated packages. In other words, you must subscribe it to a service level offering. Everyone
automatically receives one free Demo entitlement after creating an account by registering
a system with RHN or creating a redhat.com account
To entitle a system, go to http://rhn.redhat.com and log in using the same username and
password you just used in the Red Hat Network Registration Client. Click Systems
on the top navigation bar and then Systems Entitlements in the left navigation bar. The
System Entitlements page displays the number of available entitlements, or subscriptions,
at the bottom.
If you have one or more subscriptions left, make a selection from the dropdown menu under
the Entitlement column beside the name of the system you just registered. Only increases
in entitlement levels are allowed. Systems cannot be re-entitled to a lower entitlement
level. For instance, a system entitled to the Update service level can be promoted to the
Management level, but this action cannot be reversed. Click the Update Entitlements
button at the bottom of the page when finished.
