The Red Hat Subscription Manager application manages software subscriptions and software repositories for installed software products on the local system. It communicates with backend servers, such as the Red Hat Customer Portal or an on-premise instance of Subscription Asset Manager, to register the local system and grant access to software resources determined by the subscription entitlement.
