What is the benefit of registering an offline RHEL system?

  • 772

I have a couple of RHEL 7.2 systems, which do not have any online connection - also not through any proxy or satellite. I do have subscriptions which I could attach to the systems as described by RedHat here.

Now, my question is: What is the benefit of doing so? I could still not track the system status online or automatically download any patches. From my understanding, I can manually download any packages from the RHN website as long as I have at least one subscription, correct?

Thanks for any advice!

    You (your company) most likely signed an enterprise agreement to requires you have sufficient subscriptions to cover your entire install base. By administrating/managing your subscriptions correctly you ascertain compliance.
