SUSE Multi-Linux Manager license

I have customer who is running SUMA 4.3 and wants to move to SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 5.1. They have only SLES license and SUMA license inside SCC. Can I use SUMA license for SUSE Multi-Linux Manager or they need different license ? (Plan is to install SLES 15SP7 and add SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 5.1 on top of it. They do not want SLE Micro deployment).

@Jiri_Kvapil Hi and welcome to the Forum :smile:

It will run on SLES 15 SP7 as the container host, see the Server requirements section https://documentation.suse.com/multi-linux-manager/5.1/en/docs/installation-and-upgrade/hardware-requirements.html

Hello,

My question was related to licensing requirement for Multi-Linux-Manager and SUSEConnect -p Multi-Linux-Manager-Server-SLE/5.1/x86_64 -r

Is this accept old SUMA registration code or license is different ?

@Jiri_Kvapil That is something you would need to ask your SUSE Sales partner, the way I read it is you need a Multi-Linux license for the container…

Maybe @smflood can offer more details.

I’m not 100% sure about this so I’d check with SUSE but I’m guessing that if both licenses are still current (i.e. not expired) then they should work. I’m fairly certain the SLES one would work for SLES but I’m a bit surprised if the SUMA license is still referred to as SUMA in SCC and not SMLM.

Note that SMLM includes a license to use SL Micro as the host OS so if you (or your customer) want to host on SLES then you will need a SLES license in addition to the SMLM license.

Personally I’d use SL Micro to host SMLM and not just to save the cost of the SLES license.
