And check out the 363 new documents we've added this month!

Registration Code for SUSE Linux Enterprise 11

You can currently use your SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 registration codes to patch your SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 systems for all architectures. However, around June 1, 2009, the ppc, ia64 and s390x architectures will require new registration codes (x86 systems can continue to use the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 codes). Watch for the new SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 codes on our portal; we'll post them there when they are available.
