SLES 12 SP2 SAP AMI fails with cloud registration

SUSE Product Topics Amazon-EC2
1

I saw there was another thread about issues with cloud registration. Is this an resurfaced issue?

The system has internet connectivity and can reach the SMT but receives a forbidden.

This was tested with AMI (ami-8b559e9d) in us-east-1.

Hi,

First sorry for the delay in response, the issue has been fixed for about a week but the response slipped through the cracks.

The root cause of the issue was that the API providing us with verification whether or not an instance based on a SUSE image published in Marketplace was trying to register or not did not properly handle the product code assigned to SLES 12 SP2 For SAP images. This has been addressed and everything is working.

Again please excuse the late response.

Hi. Im currently having the same issue with SLES 15 For SAP Applications that I subscribed from the AWS Marketplace. Is possible to get some help for it ?

Could you please provide some more details about the issue?

Specifically, what’s your network setup – is your instance connecting to the update server directly or through a proxy/NAT/etc.?
Also, what kind of error message are you getting?

Getting a similar error on my SLES-12 SP2. Although a month ago this is working.
