How is the Subscription Management Tool different from Novell ZENworks Linux Management?
The Subscription Management Tool is an update management proxy system integrated with NCC to maintain registration information. The Tool notifies connected SUSE Linux Enterprise devices of the availability of software updates, and the SUSE Linux Enterprise devices then obtain updates from the Tool as needed. Novell ZENworks Linux Management is an enterprise system management solution. It offers additional capabilities to selectively distribute updates to a selected group of SUSE Linux Enterprise devices, and provides much more extensive capabilities in both software management and other areas.
