RHEL 7.3 registration / subscription problem
I know that there's a 6.2 thread for this below - but I couldn't see how the solution applied to 7.3, so please bare with me (especially as my limited Linux skills haven't been exercised for five years!)
I successfully installed RHEL7 on my first PC (albeit after overcoming several pratfalls), and I thought it was all going swimmingly on my second PC. But no. I'm failing with subscribing after registering (and even forcing a registration) as follows:
[root@dhcppc9 ~]# subscription-manager register --username xxxx --password xxxxt --auto-attach --force
The system with UUID 78c4c4ef-4619-473b-b550-22832f4eb9fe has been unregistered
Registering to: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
The system has been registered with ID: a97c776c-eb51-4360-a3b8-b1f5xxxxx
Installed Product Current Status:
Product Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
Status: Not Subscribed
Unable to find available subscriptions for all your installed products.
[root@dhcppc9 ~]# subscription-manager list --available --all
No available subscription pools to list
I'm doing something dozy, I'm sure. Or can I only have a single system subscribed to a given customer portal user?
Any help much appreciated.

Maybe in your case simply something went wrong.
Clean up everything and refresh the subscription :
sudo subscription-manager remove --allsudo subscription-manager unregistersudo subscription-manager clean
sudo subscription-manager registersudo subscription-manager refreshsudo subscription-manager attach --auto
If it still doesn't work, just contact the support team.
Hey Natasha, now things are clearing ... you can register only one physical system when you are subscribed to the RHEL developer edition, but you can register an unlimited amount of virtual systems, which means you can create and use an unlimited amount of virtual machines. Excerpt from FAQ (https://developers.redhat.com/articles/no-cost-rhel-faq/) ->
You may use this no-cost Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription on one physical system with up to eight processor sockets. If you are using a system with virtualization, you can install an unlimited number of guest virtual machines (VMs) on that system. Example : If you install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on a physical system, you may create an unlimited number of guest systems (virtual machines) on that host system using KVM/libvirt/QEMU virtualization or any other hypervisor.
Cheers, Christian
Hi Natasha,
Do you have access to the subscription tab of https:://access.redhat.com. If you access this tab, you will find a link systems. If you do not have access to the subscriptions tab, you need to find a colleague to do the below: Unregister your PC1, if you chose a new name for PC2, you could remove the PC1 profile completely.
Then run the subscription register steps again.

Hi I have the same issue and Natash reported. I've executed the statements as Christian Labisch (14 February 2017 3:42 PM) suggested but get exactly the same response as Natasha ( 14 February 2017 3:18 PM - unable to find subscription...). I've checked subscription and it is valid and active.
Was this resolved pls?
I experienced the same issue, same symptoms. Found this post on the Google and tried everything mentioned above. Nothing helped.
Then, I contacted Red Hat Support. They answered for 2-3 hours (great response time, for me), and wrote this:
"As per issue description, I understand that you are unable to see available subscription to attach to the system. I have refreshed your account. You should be able to see the subscription now. Please try to attach subscription and let me know the results."
After this, all worked like a charm, system successfuly assigned the 30-day evaluation licence when I tried again.
I hope this will help somebody
I install 7.5 version. I used subscription-manager tools to install service. The system had been registered but to status is not subscribed.
Hi Chi,
If the procedure I've provided in my first reply above doesn't solve it, you should contact Customer Support. :)

I registered an account to get access to devtoolset-7 which is not available on RHEL 7.5 by default.
I compile software with devtoolset-7 on RHEL 7.5 machines in AWS in different environments.
Every time I provision a new machine in AWS where we do this compilation, I need to register the machine with my account (I have two accounts btw).
Sometimes the registration/refresh works and sometimes it doesn't. I understand what Christian has written above re: limits for physical machines etc.
How does this apply in an AWS setting?
If I'm doing the compilation on two EC2 instances, how can I know what physical machine is being used underneath?
Would a workaround be to de-register immediately after installing devtoolset-7 ?
Can still use it after de-registering I guess.
Thanks.
