I'm guessing the subscription-manager yum plugin is for RHEL and shouldn't be installed on a Fedora machine. And Red Hat does want to validate that your RHEL subscription before using them for updates. Anyhow, a quick check in yum shows that both product-id and subscription-manager aren't in the Fedora repositories. Removing them (again, assuming you're on a Fedora machine) should fix the error message. Jonathan
