Steps:

Registration without subscription key limits updates to the following:

a. Security updates for sotware
b. applicable hardware updates ( firmware )

Note: Sun Update Connection features are unavailable without a service plan ( provides subscription key )

Note> Update Manager defaults to downloading signed patches
