If you buy the RHES online, you should have received an email giving you your account number and (software) item number. If you then log on to RHN and put these details in, as well as the machine details, then you should be able to apply up2date on the machine you registered. That's how I got mine to work. In practice, I believe there is nothing to stop anyone loading RHES on any PC without buying RHES. I don't know if it is legal to do so. But up2date will not work until this machine is registered in the RHN's database.

Once you have bought the service, you need to log on to the RHN network, add in your RHN subscription details and then assign the machine into the subscription channel. Once that is done, up2date will work.
