SUSE Client Registration
You can register SUSE Linux Enterprise and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with Expanded Support clients to SUSE Manager Server.
To register a new client to SUSE Manager Server, first synchronize software channels for the new client’s operating system and architecture by using either the Web UI or command line tools.
The method and details varies depending on the client’s operating system. This is described in the following sections.
1. Preliminary Steps or Checks
Before you start, ensure that the client has the date and time synchronized correctly with the SUSE Manager Server.
You must also have created an activation key. For more information about creating activation keys, see Activation Keys.

Do not register a SUSE Manager Server to itself. The SUSE Manager Server must be managed individually or by using another separate SUSE Manager Server. For more information about using multiple servers, see Multiple Servers with Hub to Manage Large Scale Deployments. |
2. Check Previous Registration Status
If the client was registered to SCC, SMT, or RMT previously, remove such a registration with SUSEConnect before migrating the client to SUSE Manager Server.
Do not forget to remove the old registration first.
Otherwise repositories that are no longer needed, will be added to the client after the client has been migrated to a newer version of a SUSE operating system with SUSE Manager.
To de-register a SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 or 15 client, on the client, as root, execute:
SUSEConnect --de-register SUSEConnect --cleanup
