Previously registered w/SUSE

If this system was previously registered with SUSE directly, we want to take a snapshot of the modules that are currently activated so they can be re-registered after. 

1. Get listing of activated products for later reactivation

   1. Get listing of activated products that we can reactivate

      ACTIVE_PRODUCTS=$(SUSEConnect -l | grep Activated -A1 | grep -i suseconnect | awk '{print $NF}')

   2. Verify products are captured. You should see a listing of products and version paths with your specific version and extensions / modules.
      IMPORTANT: If the command below returns EMPTY, the previous modules were not captured. Please STOP and reach out to RGS Support for assistance 

      echo $ACTIVE_PRODUCTS

2. Disconnect system from SCC Portal and cleanup forcefully

   SUSEConnect -d ; SUSEConnect --cleanup

3. Connect to RGS Customer Center

   SUSEConnect --url https://rgscc.ranchergovernment.com --write-config -r <REGCODE FROM RGS>
