How to Specify Your Subscription Key (GUI)

Perform this procedure after you have registered your system.

If you want access to all Solaris updates, not just security updates, add your Sun subscription key to your Update Manager registration information. If you do not have a Sun subscription key, see How to Obtain a Sun Subscription Key.

You can also specify your Sun subscription key during the registration process. See How to Register Your System.
