[QUOTE=malcolmlewis;18535]Hi I would get an evaluation activation code, setup a virtual machine and run through and install and register with NCC, the check and you should see 2 systems subscribed. The try the sync, if the channels appear then you can delete from NCC and create an activation key etc and run the curl command on the virtual machine to register it with SUSE Manager. ## You would also need to remove all the NCC repo’s from the virtual machine.

Hi So you created an activation key, copied and modified the bootstrap script as required? If so what edits did you make on your copied version of the bootstrap script? – Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86\_64) GNOME 3.10.2 Kernel 3.11.6-4-desktop If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks! ---
