If I remember correctly, you can only test it once, which is why I never
did.

Also you can install it as many times as you like, for the updates you need an account. Naturally you could just ask SuSE to give you the patches because they need to provide you with the source code anyway 
I’m a offical person bering my looks and adresses. I have request download links for both SLED/SLES 12. It will probaly be some hageling on and why and price.
It was a nice article in the Swedish idg.se (idc.com) about SUSE12, in Swedish(use google translate).

Now this is the freedom of using a “real os”. I just told my server-friend in my basement to download:

and:

I will not write anything probably during the evolution in this forum but I will when I feel have enough info to make a comment. This is for working/prof use.

Hi
Why working/professional use? I brought a 3 year license for SLED 10 way back when openSUSE came out. Best $75 I ever spent…
I’m a home user but also value my time, for the cost of a basic license, fluendo codecs, crossover office and handbrake it’s a pretty worry free experience IMHO.

Crossover comes included in that 75?
75$ is an important figure for me. Sure, it means more work for me, at
home. And I heard that they often have old versions, and limited
choices, compared to the amount in openSUSE.
Sure, I want to try it, just not use it. And I’d like to try every
release and see the differences. I’m curious to see things.

Hi
Not sure what the cost is now, first time was US$75, second three years
was US$105, crossover was free (a few years back), brought the fluendo
codec bundle.

So this is a time that I invite folks to rotfl! at me. I forgot to tell my server where to to store the downloads from SLES/SLED 12 trial. It was quite a lot to DL. Default is to save at… And my server stopped when its / (root) 20GB space was used at 100%. Oh the server was still at live but had shutdown all the networkfunctions etc.
Oh yes I learn something again. Mondaymornings are like this.
I get back later on when I had a look.
regards and enjoy my travels in the trial/error IT-universe
How well does SLED and Crossover work together, can you install Office 2010 or 2013/365? I’d imagine the 2013/365 might be an issue…to be honest, I’m surprised MS hasn’t come out with a fully supported Office Suite for Linux like they did Mac. I heard rumors it was in the works, and they make tons/all their money of Office sales…I just don’t know if they consider like 3% of the desktop users on Linux enough of a market to *care *about

Yea I saw that page, but it seems that Office 2010 SP2 is still unsupported. What version of Crossover do you have?

Is there a reason you’re not on the newer version 14? I thought if you purchased the $60 12 month package you are eligible to upgrade your product at any time? Maybe you have to keep the 12 month subscription constantly to keep that, I dunno lol
Hi
It was the free one, I used it with MS Office 2003 ages ago and also my garmin gps map application. Since I have a couple of dual boot systems now, no real need to use it aside from testing.
Yes, -yes I know(part of SUSE sled12 test vs). But maybe why not read my post all the way to the last row?
I have still memorys of SLED10. I found it “looking poor” compared to KDE version of openSUSE at the same time.
I have no idé what the teenagers whas doing Saturday afternoon when I was cocking dinner and my installation of SUSE sled12 went on in my kitchen. I just had some quick looks and I like that dark theme during installation. Later on I liked the start screen(gives a better/fresher impression then openSUSE13.2)
http://www.jodo.nu/pic/pic2/sled_12_0.jpeg
Started up and it looks like Mate1.8?? Wasn’t it suppose to look like Gnome3.14? Again I have no idea what happening while I was cocking.
http://www.jodo.nu/pic/pic2/sled_12_1.jpeg
Malcom L was stating earlier to use sled at work and it will be just working, worth the money. So fare sled12 have swallow everything I have use for at home and setup. Some quirks but no worst then openSUSE13.2 (printers, scanners, codecs, media players…). I will have another thought to test on my current work/laptop the week after next in a win-enviroment

Hi
I use it at home SLES 12 is probably more quirkier (I have a few bugs) but you can now add the ‘Desktop’ extension to add all the SLED bits in, which is interesting.
The speed of OSS development means it doesn’t take long for it to be old with respect to features in later DE releases, but what can I say, I can be on either openSUSE or SLE and the same way of doing things is the same
Uh-ho. I’m not that home on either SLED (11/12), mate, IceWM, Gnome DE’s. Above in #18 I wrote something about look like Mate1.8… The correct name for that DE is SLE Classic in SLED12
-here is IceWM in SLED12:
http://www.jodo.nu/pic/pic2/icewm.jpeg
-here is Gnome classic in SLED12:
http://www.jodo.nu/pic/pic2/gnome%20classic2.jpeg
Here is Gnome(3) in SLED12:
http://www.jodo.nu/pic/pic2/gnome.jpeg
So there are some different DE’s in SLED12. Well I’m a"hard-KDE" man but a least Gnome3 is available, a step forward for us who like news.
