Hi all, We have couple of Linux servers running SLES 11 SP1 and it appears that there was no maintenance installed. I am asked to patch the server with available security updates , but unable to locate SLES SP1 from [https://download.suse.com/](https://download.suse.com/). Also am instructed not to upgrade the SP version without installing the available security patches on SP1. Please help me to locate the available security patches (No ISO available with my organization) Priya ---

Note you will need active maintenance to access updates for any release of SLES (still supported by SUSE). ## HTH.
