RedHat has told us that any RedHat systems must be licensed. You can't get RedHat rpms legally without a license. If you have a license but no account talk to your rep and get an account.
If you have hundreds of licensed systems you might not want each one downloading rpm's directly from RedHat. So you put a satellite server on your lan and each system gets rpms from the satellite server. The satellite server has other features to help manage a collection of systems. We didn't like satellite so we dropped it. We download rpms from RedHat and just create our owb NFS based repositories.
There are distros that take RedHat source code (freely available) and create linux systems that are super close to RedHat (like CentOS and Yellow Dog) but without the fees.

NAME
subscription-manager-gui - Launches the UI client of the Subscription Manager.
SYNOPSIS
subscription-manager-gui [--register]
DESCRIPTION
subscription-manager-gui opens the local client tool to manage subscriptions and installed products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
The same tasks that can be performed by invoking subscription-manager can be performed in the GUI, including registering systems with a
subscription management service, applying and removing subscriptions, and viewing the subscription status of installed products.
The Subscription Manager UI can also be opened by selecting the Red Hat Subscription Manager item from the Applications > System Tools menu
in RHEL 5.x or the System > Administration menu in RHEL 6.x.
OPTIONS
--register
If a system has not yet been registered, then the GUI registration page can be opened immediately, as the Subscription Manager GUI
comes up. This is only relevant for unregistered systems; if this is used after a system is registered, the option is ignored.
REFERENCES
For procedures and tasks that can be performed in the Subscription Manager UI, check the Gnome help files (by pressing <F1>) or refer to
the RHEL Subscription Management Guide at <https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Sub-
scription_Management_Guide/index.html>.
