How to re-register for your Red Hat Developer Subscription
Red Hat Principal Customer Support Specialist Daniel Marshburn offered the following guidance on re-registering for a Red Hat Developer Subscription for Individuals after the initial one-year subscription expires:
- Open developers.redhat.com in an Incognito window in Chrome, a Private window in Firefox, or an InPrivate window in Edge.
- Use your Red Hat login ID to sign in to the site.
- Acknowledge the provided Terms and Conditions.
- Log out of all Red Hat sites and close your browser(s).
- Wait 15 to 20 minutes, then log in to access.redhat.com/management.
- You should now see a new Red Hat Developer for Individuals Subscription on your account.
Troubleshooting
You may need to remove and then re-attach your license after accepting the new terms and conditions for your system to recognize the renewed subscription:
sudo subscription-manager remove --all
sudo subscription-manager unregister
sudo subscription-manager clean
sudo subscription-manager register
sudo subscription-manager refresh
sudo subscription-manager attach --autoFrequently asked questions
Below are answers to frequently asked questions about what happens after the one-year Red Hat Developer Subscription for Individuals has expired.
1. What if I don’t re-register immediately? Will I lose all my software and tools?
In a word, no. Nothing will be removed from your RHEL instance if you don’t re-register immediately after your subscription expires. Nothing will be deleted. Until you re-register, you will not be eligible for updates and access to the support documents and other benefits that you will probably want. But in the meantime, you can keep developing software.
2. Will the container images I’ve created still run?
If you’ve created container images using Red Hat’s Universal Base Images (UBI) base images, you are all set. Those images will keep humming along, running the bug-free software that you wrote without issue.
