Insufficient Software Channel Entitlements
Recently I've upgraded our Server from RHEL 5 to 6.5.
So after I finished the installation I tried to register this system into my account so I'm able to receive updates from YUM.
But when I try to register this server I receive the following message:
===========================================================================================
Error communicating with server. The message was:
Error Message:

It doesn't matter if I try it with:
- rhn_register
- subscription_manager register
- rhnreg_ks
And even the --force option doesn't work.
I've logged in as well, but I cant find the 'old' installation of this server on my account.
What do I need to do to re-register and get my updates :-).
Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the RHN customer portal to see if the machine is already registered there.
Chances are your machine with the old OS is still taking up your license.
Suggest you go there delete the machine and try registering it again.
there are 2 places where it could be.
on the customer portal (access.redhat.com)
1: under subscriptions -> subscription management -> units
or
2: under subscriptions -> RHN Classic -> Registered Systems
hope this helps
ok so you now have nothing under option 1 or 2, right?
then try
# subscription-manager unregister
# subscription-manager clean
Also ensure that your subscription is still active you should be able to see it in:
under subscriptions -> Your Subscriptions -> Overview
you should see something under active subscriptions
This blog has fixed my issue. I had problems due to too many systems entitled in RHN. After removing systems with obsolete OS versions I too had issues contacting xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com but was fixed after giving close attention to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date file. Account used to go via proxy was locked out and unlocking the account fixed it for me. Good post guys keep it up. Thanks
