7.6. Entitling Your System
Now that you have registered your system, it must be entitled before you can receive updated pack-
ages. 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 for RHN or creating a
redhat.com account.
To entitle a system, go to http://rhn.redhat.com and login using the same username and password you
just used in the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
. On the left navigation bar, click
Entitlements
under the
Your RHN
category. The
Entitlement Manager
tells you how many entitlements you have
left. If you have one or more left, check the checkbox under the
Entitled
column beside the name of
the system that you just registered. Then click the
Update Entitlements
button at the bottom of the
page. The number of entitlements remaining will decrease, and your system is now ready to use the
Red Hat Update Agent
and RHN website. Refer to Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 for details on how to
use them. If you do not have any entitlement slots left, enter the number you want to purchase and
click the
Buy Now!
button to purchase additional subscriptions.
7.7. Text Mode RHN Registration Client
If you are not running the X Window System, the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
starts in
text mode.
You can force the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
to run in text mode with the command:
rhn_register --nox
The screens for the text mode
Red Hat Network Registration Client
are almost identical to the
screens for the graphical
Red Hat Network Registration Client
. Some of the text in the text mode
version is more concise due to lack of space in the interface. However, there is an equal number of
screens and fields in both versions. Thus, if you are using the text mode version, you can still follow
the instructions that begin in Section 7.2.
