  • How to procure the no-cost Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Subscription.
  • How to renew the no-cost Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Subscription.

Resolution

  • When you register on Red Hat Developer Portal, you will be entitled to Red Hat Developer Subscription For Individuals

  • We recommend you follow our Getting Started Guide which covers downloading and installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux on a physical system or virtual machine (VM) using your choice of VirtualBox, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Linux KVM/Libvirt.

  • Like the fee-based version, this is a 12 months subscription you will need to download it each year.

  • To download your subscription, you will need to follow the steps below:

    • Join the Red Hat Developer Portal
    • Agree to the Terms & Conditions when prompted by the 'Additional Action Required' page. If the 'Additional Action Required' page does not automatically show up, proceed to the Product Download page.
    • Select the product & click submit.

  • You man need to register your host after accepting T&Cs.

    # subscription-manager remove --all
# subscription-manager clean
# subscription-manager register

  • If SCA is enabled on the account level then “no longer required to attach the subscription to the system", simply register and enable the required ropes.

  • If you want to confirm did this system get properly registered?, use the output of subscription-manager identity instead of the output of subscription-manager status.

    # subscription-manager identity
system identity: 3hskd--acec-4894-9211-0f1fd6bb89d46   <<< Example. 
name: xyz-abc                 
org name:  1234567890     
org ID: 1234567890   <<<  It shows the host is registered with Red Hat Customer Portal.

How to view and verify the Org ID number?

Log-into Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console
Bring a mouse cursor on your name field and expand to view and verify the org ID details.
