4.7. Viewing Available and Used Subscriptions
To manage subscriptions, administrators need to know both what subscriptions a system is currently consuming and what subscriptions are available to the system.
4.7.1. Viewing Subscriptions in the GUI
The Red Hat Subscription Manager tools give a more detailed view of subscriptions and entitlements than is available through the global tools of the Customer Portal. Three tabs summarize each of the subscriptions and products for the specific machine: installed products (with subscriptions), subscribed entitlements, and available subscriptions.
These summaries are always displayed in the Red Hat Subscription Manager UI.
The My Subscriptions area shows all of the current entitlements that the system is subscribed to.
The All Available Subscriptions area shows all of the subscriptions that are available to the system. The default displays only entitlements that are compatible with the hardware, but these can be filtered to show entitlements corresponding to other installed programs, only subscriptions that have not been installed, and subscriptions based on date.
The filters dynamically search for available entitlements. Subscriptions can be filtered by their active date and by their name. The checkboxes provide more fine-grained filtering:
match my system shows only subscriptions which match the system architecture.
match my installed products shows subscriptions which work with currently installed products on the system.
have no overlap with existing subscriptions excludes subscriptions with duplicate products. If a system is already subscribed to an entitlement for a specific product or if multiple entitlements supply the same product, then the subscription service filters those subscriptions and shows only the best fit.
The My Installed Software area shows the currently installed products on the system, along with their subscription status. This does not allow administrators to install software, only to view installed software.
