Nope, activation keys are an RHN thing. What they are is you define an activation key, give it certain properties (i.e. channel subscriptions, grouip memberships, add-on entitlements, etc) and any system that you register with that activation key inherits the properties of that key.
It's extremely useful in very large deployments - the bootstrap script for proxy/satellite actually has to use an activation key.
