Hello,

based on the feedback we received on this issue, we decided to actually
drop the plan I outlined in this thread. Instead we will add access to
the Optional Productivity Applications channel to all Server
Subscriptions in the next RHN profile update.

I hope that resolves the issues and sorry for the hassle.

Regards,

Daniel
