Stderr: This system is not yet registered. Try 'subscription-manager register --help' for more information.
Hint: Please ensure you have a valid RHEL subscription and your network is up.

Or use the --no-rhsm option when running leapp, if you do not want to use subscription-manager for the in-place upgrade and you want to deliver all target repositories by yourself or using RHUI on public cloud.

Of course, this system is not registered using subscription-manager, because only Red Hat RHEL systems must to be registered. Alternative EL distributions can’t be registered.
The following documentation was used:
https://docs.theforeman.org/3.12/Upgrading_Project/index-foreman-el.html#upgrading_EL_on_foreman_or_proxy_upgrading-connected
Expected outcome:
Leapp Upgrade with out errors.
It doesn’t make sense to check subscription-manager registrations for alternative EL distros.
