Dear experts,  
I am faced with a lack of information on the topic of testing suse linux enterprise live patching.  
I need to test the operation of the service, and the application options in our company.  
First I downloaded the ISO c image [https://www.suse.com/download/sle-lp/](https://www.suse.com/download/sle-lp/ "https://www.suse.com/download/sle-lp/") assuming that the installation will be able to install the kernel-livepatch package. But alas, the miracle did not happen.

Then I turned to the instructions [https://documentation.suse.com/external-tree/en-us/suma/4.0/suse-manager/administration/live-patching-sles15.html](https://documentation.suse.com/external-tree/en-us/suma/4.0/suse-manager/administration/live-patching-sles15.html "https://documentation.suse.com/external-tree/en-us/suma/4.0/suse-manager/administration/live-patching-sles15.html") But our company does not use SUSE Manager.

In this regard, I have a couple of questions:

1. How do I install and manage the kernel-livepatch package?
2. If I need to install and configure SUSE Manager, how do I start using the 60-day test periods to make a decision about purchasing software?

Thank you so much for your reply!
