What is the Subscription Management Tool for SUSE Linux Enterprise?
The Subscription Management Tool allows enterprise customers to optimize the management of SUSE Linux Enterprise software updates and subscription entitlements. It establishes a proxy system for Novell Customer Center with repository and registration targets. This helps you centrally manage software updates within the firewall on a per-system basis, while maintaining your corporate security policies and regulatory compliance The tool allows you to provision updates for all of your devices running a SUSE Linux Enterprise-based product. By downloading these updates only once and distributing them throughout the enterprise, you can set more restrictive firewall policies and, where applicable, avoid significant network usage stemming from repeated downloads of the same updates by each device. The Tool is fully supported and available as a download to customers with an active SUSE Linux Enterprise product subscription.
