5.8. Managing Expired and Expiring Subscriptions
The top of the subscription overview page gives three simple, clear numbers related to subscriptions: how many are active, how many will expire within 120 days, and how many have expired in the past 30 days (and are eligible for renewal).
These are total numbers for the entire account. It does not matter how many subscriptions are attached, how many systems there are, and whether the subscription is registered with Customer Portal Subscription Management, RHN Classic, or a subscription management application.
Figure 20. Subscription Overview
Clicking on any of the numbers opens the tab in the subscription inventory for that category of subscriptions.
- active subscriptions goes to the Active tab.
- subscriptions expiring in the next 120 days goes to the Available for Renewal tab.
- recently expired subscriptions goes to the Recently Expired tab.
The tab lists the subscription names, contract numbers, and start/end dates to make it easier to track and manage subscriptions.
Figure 21. Recently Expired Tab
Clicking the name of any subscription in the Available for Renewal or Recently Expired tabs opens the details page for that contract, with renewal information. If the subscription was purchased directly from Red Hat, then it can renewed through that page; if it was purchased from a vendor, then there is contact and ordering information supplied.
