Create Red Hat Account and Activate the Subscription
Hello everyone, in this video, I am going to show you how you can create an account on redhat.com and activate your subscription, that’s free
Going to redhat.com
Click on login and then register now
Select personal as the account type
Write your preferred username
Write your password
Write it again
Here you must write your personal information,
Select your country and give the address,
Click on create my account
If you don’t receive the confirmation email click on resend confirmation email and wait for a second, also check your junk folder
Click on the link in your email
Ok , my email address confirmed
Going to manage account
That is your account summary
Click on the user profile then subscription
You can subscriptions and registered systems here
As you see we don’t have any subscriptions here
Going to developers.redhat.com
Click on login,
After you check the agreements you got free subscriptions
Click on submit
Check the mailbox to activate your subscription
Come back to subscription management and refresh the page
Okay, our free subscription was activated successfully
I will register my RedHat server and assign these subscriptions to that
Again, here is a summary of my subscriptions and registered servers
Connect to the server via putty
Use subscription-manager with the register option
Write the login information
We got the error, I am going to solve this
From the user profile section click on account details
Click on logins and password,
You can see redhat login here,
Again register the server but this time instead of the email I use my RedHat login username
That’s great, server registered
Check what happened in the subscriptions
At the system, we can see one virtual machine, click on view all systems
My server registered and appeared here , click on the hostname of the server
The server is registered but it does not have any subscription
Click on subscriptions
Use run auto-attach to automatically assign subscriptions to this registered server
Also, you can see the status that shows us properly subscribed
I am trying to check the subscription status from the server with subscription-manager with the list option
Try to install some package
We got the error because our repositories are not activated, to refresh repositories and list them use subscription-manager with repos option
Try to install the package again
That is installed
