The duration of the conversion process depends on the number of packages that have to be replaced, network speed, storage speed, and similar factors.

.Using an Extended Lifecycle Support add-on subscription on converted hosts
If you convert to a RHEL version that is in the https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Life_Cycle_Dates[phase of Extended Lifecycle Support] (ELS) and you do not plan to upgrade your host to a fully supported RHEL version, Red{nbsp}Hat recommends to use an ELS add-on subscription during the conversion.
Note that the conversion and the subsequent upgrade without an ELS subscription come with a limited support scope per the https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/convert2rhel-support[Convert2RHEL Support Policy] and the https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/ipu-support[In-place upgrade Support Policy].

* Ensure you have a subscription manifest uploaded to your {Project} and that there are sufficient {RHEL} entitlements allocated for the conversions you intend.
Alternatively, you can use Ansible variables to tell the role to import the manifest from disk.
The manifest must be imported to the organization to which you will register hosts for conversion.
