How can I renew my RHEL Developer Suite subscription ?
I have an active Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite subscription, which will expire in less than 30 days.
In the Customer Portal I get the information in Red Hat Subscription Management that it is Ready for Renewal.
But I cannot find anything (a button to click on) where and how I can do it, on the Take Action tab there is a link :
How to Renew and it leads me to -> https://www.redhat.com/en/about/red-hat-enterprise-linux-renewal-guide
In the FAQ for no-cost RHEL Developer Suite (https://developers.redhat.com/articles/no-cost-rhel-faq/) I read :
(11. Since this is a subscription, do I have to renew?) Like the fee-based version, this is a 12-month subscription.
(How do I renew?) Renewal is simple and only requires that you agree to the then-current version of the T&Cs.
I know that only users with organization administrator rights can renew subscriptions, I made sure I have them.
Can anyone please tell me how I can renew my subscription before it expires ? Thanks in advance for guidance.

I agree, the "Renew a subscription" option at access.redhat.com/management does not appear to provide a renew option. Contact Customer Service
Mine expired just now, so I had to renew. The process was quite simple, they must have fixed it after the comments above :-) :
1) Tried subscription-manager attach, didn't work
2) Log into developer portal, click download link, forwarded to login page
3) Immediately after login, forwarded to a page to confirm my details and agree.
4) Download starts, but I just cancelled it. Go back to my box, run subscription-manager attach, all good.
This thread from last year looks to the most helpful set of gyrations for this seemingly ongoing trouble.
A year later, and I'm going through the pain. Anybody have any new insights into how to get subscription manager to properly recognize updated subscriptions? In developer portal, the subscription is plain as day. Subscription manager is having none of it; doesn't see any current subscriptions in My Installed Products, nor see any "Show subscriptions active on 2018-5-18" --today as it were. I'm pretty sure I Agreed to a updated T&Cs because 'lo --I see my 2018-5-18 subscription online.
At present, I'm downloading 7.5 (I am on 7.4) against... well, its something to do. Christian Labisch indicated he went this route ...
Is there somewhere other than Subscription Manager I ought to be doing attaching/detaching subscriptions? The exchange here was pretty clear (some pain), but maybe I'm missing something? Disclosure: my subscription ended March, and I'm just getting around to this. smile
