4.4.1 Understanding OES 2 Software Evaluation Basics
You can evaluate the full OES 2 product. The evaluation software is the complete, fully functional
OES 2 product.
As you install each server, you are required to accept an end user license agreement (EULA). Your
rights to evaluate and use the OES 2 product are limited to the rights set forth in the EULA.
Briefly, the evaluation period for OES 2 servers is 60 days. To receive software updates during this
time, you must have or create an account with the Customer Center, receive evaluation codes for
OES 2 and SLES 10 while downloading the software, and use these codes to register your server. No
software updates can be downloaded after the 60-day evaluation period expires until you purchase
the product.
