This is the first time I see the registration thing.
Why is this being done?
Why does anyone have to register their machine?
I see no reason for this other than monitoring people's machines.
This is totally unacceptable.
I'm guessing the subscription-manager yum plugin is for RHEL and
shouldn't be installed on a Fedora machine. And Red Hat does want to
validate that your RHEL subscription before using them for updates.
Anyhow, a quick check in yum shows that both product-id and
subscription-manager aren't in the Fedora repositories. Removing them
(again, assuming you're on a Fedora machine) should fix the error
message.
