I did an online update using zypper command “zypper in -t patch SUSE-SLE-SAP-12-SP2-2019-2984=1” and the results:  
Refreshing service ‘SUSE\_Linux\_Enterprise\_Server\_12\_SP2\_x86\_64’.  
Loading repository data…  
Reading installed packages…  
‘SUSE-SLE-SAP-12-SP2-2019-2984=1’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.  
No provider of ‘SUSE-SLE-SAP-12-SP2-2019-2984=1’ found.  
Resolving package dependencies…

Nothing to do.

Please help

hi @malcolmlewis ,  
Thank you for your response.  
I’ve tried to remove =1 but the result is still the same.

I check the list of patches in the repository, the list of available patches is only 2018 and below.  
Tried to refresh the repository but the patch list didn’t change.

@Paulus Hi, it’s in the `SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP2` repository, you have an active LTSS subscription?

Hi @malcolmlewis ,  
I just activated an unlimited license and registered 1 server with the registration code provided by the vendor. Some patches can be installed but some cannot be installed.  
I don’t understand what other license to have.  
How to activate LTSS subscription?

Thank you.

@Paulus Hi, it’s a separate subscription [https://www.suse.com/products/long-term-service-pack-support/](https://www.suse.com/products/long-term-service-pack-support/)

If you login to the vendors account at [https://scc.suse.com](https://scc.suse.com) on the My Tools section at the left under ‘Patches’ I see the following;

If you scroll down further there is an option to download manually, is this possible?

@Paulus Hi, so if you check the ‘Subscription’ section, do you see and LTSS line item, if so this is the registration code to use with the system?

Hi @malcolmlewis ,  
Thank you for your information.  
We don’t have an LTSS subscription. Does that mean we can’t continue updating the patches.(?)

@Paulus Hi, AFAIK your correct. But your better off to confirm the issue by creating a Support Request or talking to the Vendors SUSE Partner/Sales.
