Hello,

Found this interesting, didn't know where to share :

If your up2date ends up with a similar error :


-----------------------------------------------------
Problem registering system:

Error Message:
     Insufficient Software Channel
Entitlements:

     cfid0000  Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(core server)

note: One of the above Software Channel
Entitlement(s) are required
to provides access to: cid0000 Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4 for 32-bit x86)
Error Class Code: 70
Error Class Info:
      All available subscriptions for the
requested channel have been exhausted.
      Please contact a Red Hat Network
Sales associate.
Explanation:
      An error has occurred while
processing your request. If this problem
      persists please enter a bug report
at bugzilla.redhat.com.
      If you choose to submit the bug
report, please be sure to include
      details of what you were trying to
do when this error occurred and
-----------------------------------------------------

Then here is the solution :

-----------------------------------------------------
    1. Go to http://rhn.redhat.com and login
    2. Click on the Systems link in the red bar at the
       top of the page.
    3. Click on the name of the system, then click the
      'delete system' link in the upper right of the
       page, then 'delete profile' in the bottom right
       of the subsequent page.

You may then register the entitlement to the new
system.  To register your system with RHN:

    1. Open up a terminal window on the system you are
       registering.
    2. Make sure you are logged in as root.
    3. Enter the command up2date --register (for
       versions 3 and 4) or rhn_register (for versions
       2.1 and 5)
    4. This should bring up an interface that will
       guide you through the up2date process.

       Make sure not to enter a subscription number when
       you are prompted to, instead select the option
       "Use one of my existing subscriptions" or "I do
       not have a subscription number."

       If you are trying to register version 4, we are
       currently working on a bug with sending the
       hardware information so please do not send the
       hardware information.

    5. If you would like to send your hardware profile
       information after you have registered your
       system with Red Hat Network you can do so by
       opening up a terminal window, logging in as root,
       and entering the command up2date --hardware.
