Activate your subscription
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform uses available subscriptions or a subscription manifest to allow the use of Ansible Automation Platform.
To obtain a subscription, you can do either of the following:
- Use your Red Hat username and password, service account credentials, or Satellite credentials when you launch Ansible Automation Platform.
- Upload a subscriptions manifest file either using the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform interface or manually in an Ansible Playbook.
- Activate with credentials
Activate your Ansible Automation Platform subscription at first launch using Red Hat service account credentials or a personal login. This retrieves and imports the license, granting access to Red Hat content and entitlement services. - Activate with a manifest file
If you have a subscriptions manifest, you can upload the manifest file by using the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform interface. - Keep subscriptions for managed hosts in compliance
To ensure that your automation controller installation remains compliant with your Red Hat subscription, automation controller provides a way to monitor your subscription status and usage.
