Description

As act keys work today, all subs associated will be assigned to the registering host. If any fail to attach, the registration itself fails.

There are use cases, however, where a group of subs are useful.

1. Given two of the same subscription but with different quantities (RHEL quantity 1, and RHEL quantity 60), I'd have to make two separate act keys. Ideally I would simply associate those two RHEL to one key and have the host use whatever was still available.

2. Given two subs with different SLA, I would need to create two act keys. Instead, since the hosts themselves can have SLA, I could attach both and the proper sub would be chosen from the group.
