3.2. Subscription Utilization
Administrators need to have a sense of all of the subscriptions, altogether, regardless of whether they match the architecture or installed products on any of the systems in inventory. The Customer Portal provides three ways of looking at subscriptions, with slightly different perspectives:
- All subscriptions that are active and attached (total counts)
- All available subscriptions that can be used by systems in Customer Portal Subscription Management
- Subscriptions in Customer Portal Subscription Management that match a specific system's architecture, socket count, installed products, or other characteristics
In the Subscriptions Overview page has a link to the utilization summary. The Subscription Utilization page gives the current count for every active subscription for the entire account, and a total count of every used subscription, regardless of whether it is used in RHN Classic or Customer Portal Subscription Management. These numbers are updated whenever the subscription count changes in the subscription management service.
The total counts are broken down by type first, and then the number of subscriptions of that type per subscription management service.
