[QUOTE=ofvergara][COLOR="#B22222"]hi Malcolm,
i believe i am out of luck.
even though i purchased a 3-year subscription for patches and upgrades, i see that for sled11sp4 it fully stopped in july 2016 as announced in the EOL, however, for sles11sp4, i noticed they are still producing patches. for me it’s not fair because i invested some money into receiving support for my favorite distribution. anyways, that’s life, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
also, i tried searching the source dvd you were mentioning on the SCC, and i can’t seem to find it. it all points now to sled12sp2.
check the attached images (the links to them actually).
thank you for your kind help today.
cheers.
my subscription:

sled11sp4 no patches

sles11sp4 being patched up constantly

Hi
Yes, SLED is EOL, but SLES is going for longer since it’s a server…

So is your system 64bit capable, because SUSE only supports 64bit now?
