7.3.10 Checking Media
If you encounter any problems using the SUSE Linux Enterprise installation media,
you can check the CDs or DVDs with Software → Media Check. Media problems are
more likely to occur with media you burn yourself. To check that a SUSE Linux Enter-
prise CD or DVD is error-free, insert the medium into the drive and run this module.
Click Start for YaST to check the MD5 checksum of the medium. This may take several
minutes. If any errors are detected, you should not use this medium for installation.
7.3.11 Registering SUSE Linux Enterprise
The registration and activation of your product is a precondition for technical support
and product updates. If you skipped the registration during installation, you can register
later with the help of the Product Registration module from Software. Before you start
registration, prepare your contact e-mail and registration key.
In Include for Convenience, select whether to obtain some of the necessary information
from your system. This simplifies the registration process. If you want to see what is
required to register your system or what happens with your data, use Details.
To register, you can also use the command line tool suse_register. Refer to
suse_register --help for directions.
To register your system without Internet access from a different computer, you must
obtain a registration URL first. To obtain the URL, run suse_register without
options on your new system. From the suse_register output, copy the URL and
enter it in the URL field of a browser on a different computer.
