What Is a Subscription Key or Service Plan Number?

A subscription key or service plan number is associated with your Sun support contract and enables you to access additional services. When you provide a valid subscription key, you can use Sun Update Manager to help you manage your updates. If you do not specify a subscription key during registration, you can later add a subscription key by using the Update Manager application or by reregistering your system using the CLI.

Note

If you have a Sun support contract that includes software support, your subscription key might be known as your service plan number, contract ID, support agreement number, or entitlement token.
