Hello!
What is license for SLES8? Per server (as for SCO UL-based server) or something else?
Depends if you speak about the medium (you can install as many servers as you like with one medium) or the updates/maintenace/ support part. The last one is per server (I don't know if there are special contracts for larger sites, but I think so).
Sorry, I don't understand completely. Updates(maintenance) is not the same thing as support. For support one need support contract :-)
And to get the updates and fixes you need a maintenance contract.
No! At least with SLES7- 1 year maintanance is included with box. Or I need to get support contract for SLES8? But why there is price for SLES8 with one year maintenace included with box?
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?
You can install them, but if an update breaks your system, you are
Yes, I can install them. But is this license violation or not?
alone and nobody will help you fixing it, even if you find a real bug.
Shure :-) Sorry, I don't talk about do I need support or not. I'm talking about _license_. Could you, as Suse employeer, mail me SLES8 license text?
