There is no license to activate. You pay for support and updates, not the operating system itself. You can register support allowances on the rhn.redhat.com site.

If you mean you skipped the registration and now want to register. Just run this:
Quote:
# rhn_register
The installation key itself doesn't matter, it merely enables you to install the AP specific packages during installation. (Virt, Cluster & such things)

Oh yes, missed that. Then the only choice is rhn.redhat.com
