Sorry, I don't understand completely.
Updates(maintenance) is not the same thing as support.
For support one need support contract :-)
But for updates- not. I can simply download them from 
maintenance  site. This is only software, some GPL covered,
some with anothe license. Anyway, if I can install SLES8 on 
all my servers ;-) why I can't install updates from maintanance web
if I have login?
