If I buy today a license for SLES10 and tomorrow SLES11 appears, my "old" license covers both and I can "reuse" it after upgrading.
Kind of. :-) You cannot buy licenses for SLES, but subscriptions. And you cannot buy a subscription for SLES 10, but for SLES (without reference to version number) which indeed you can then use for SLES 9, SLES 10, or SLES 11 on that machine.
And the biggest stone in this way currently is YaST's stupidity first deleting the current kernel modules and then telling "oops, you should reboot as soon as possible".
How can we best address this, technically? I'm a bit puzzled we still have not managed to have a simple PARALLEL_KERNELS=N option somewhere that would keep up to N kernels on a system. Would that address your usecase?
