<TITLE>How do I re-associate my system with a channel?</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a RHEL4 server that I set up last year and that has been happily working with RHN for most of the time since. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, my purchasing group let my Red Hat support expire, and my system apparently became unassociated with RHN update channels. The support contract has supposedly been renewed, but I still get the message </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> "This system may not be updated until it is associated wioth a channel.".</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When I login to the RHN website and go to the Software Channels page for my system, it shows that I have no Base Channel and the only selection in the drop-down box is "(none, disable service)".</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What procedure do I need to follow to make the channel list available again? How can I verify that the renewal was properly processed?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks very much for any help!</FONT>
