4.1 Do You Have Upgrade Protection?
If you have Novell
®
Upgrade Protection, you can upgrade to OES 2 and the associated support
packs, free of charge until your upgrade protection expires. After your protection expires, the OES 2
upgrade link disappears from your account page.
For more information and to start the upgrade process, do the following:
1 Using your Novell account information, log in to the Novell Web Site (http://www.novell.com/
nps) .
2 Click Customer Center and log in, using your Novell account username and password to access
the Novell Customer Center home page.
3
Follow the instructions on the page to obtain the upgrade to Open Enterprise Server 2.
4.2 Do You Want 32-Bit or 64-Bit OES?
Compatibility is the first thing to consider as you start planning which software to download and
install.
OES 2 is a set of services or an “add-on product” that runs on SUSE
®
Linux Enterprise Server
(SLES 10) and is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. These two versions are required for
compatibility with SLES 10 and the server hardware that it runs on. Having two versions of OES
introduces a little more complexity into your planning, as illustrated in
Table 4-1 .
