kindly help me out

I'm not sure if it is related, but if you aren't going to subscribe to RHN to get updates, why not just use CentOS instead?

[waterhead]

Better yet, if you want to use it as a desktop PC, use Fedora. Fedora is basically the testing branch for Red Hat. You usually can easily install those programs on Fedora.

[sanjay_2001]

i got the RHEL with my laptop. how to register it!!

[waterhead]

To enable downloads and updates for Red Hat products, you first need to register with the Red Hat Network. That can be done here:

https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/sales/LoginInfo.do

You also need a product activation. I assume that this would come from the maker of your laptop. It may also be referred to as a Subscription number. You then can activate it on your laptop by starting the "Software Updater" application. It will first ask you for the information needed to register with RHN. It can also be run from the terminal, using this command as root.

/usr/sbin/rhn_register

[lucky_chouhan]

registration is chargeable or not

i'm using Redhat AS5 Server and getting same message.

[bigtomrodney]

Yes you do have to pay for support. If you got Redhat on the server then it should have been licensed and you should have registration details. If you installed it yourself without a licence you will not be able to get updates, I would follow the advice above and use CentOS.
