The following steps register a SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 5.1 extension with the x86-64 architecture and thus require a registration code for the x86-64 architecture. To register ARM or s390x architectures use the correct registration code.
Procedure: Registering from the Command Line

    SUSEConnect --list-extensions

  2. From the list of available extensions, select the one you wish to install:

    If installing the Server, use your SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Server Extension 5.1 x86_64 registration code. For example for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP7, with the following commands:

    +

    SUSEConnect -r <regcode>
SUSEConnect -p sle-module-containers/15.7/x86_64
SUSEConnect -p Multi-Linux-Manager-Server-SLE/5.1/x86_64 -r <regcode>

    • If installing the Proxy, use your SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy Extension 5.1 x86_64 registration code with the following command:

      SUSEConnect -p Multi-Linux-Manager-Proxy-SLE/5.1/x86_64 -r <regcode>
