How to register 9.3 Pro
 
I bought 9.3 pro at Best Buy and installed on a toshiba laptop. During install it asked me to register and I skipped it. The little SuSE app even nags me to register. Yet, there's no link anywhere on that form or anywhere else I can find that tells me how. Searching the SuSE user and admin guides also reveal nothing on how to accomplish this great feat of registration. And to top it all off somehow my system got automagically renamed to eval40588.

Can someone tell me exactly which flaming hoops Novell wants me to jump through in order to register my boxed product?

Oops, i just reinstalled from scratch and there was no registration during setup (must have been thinking XP, hehe)... which leaves me stumped. I get a nice message saying "please register" and "your key is on the CD" but I still have NO IDEA WHERE THE @#$! KEY GOES.

and I had host name configured via DHCP, so ignore comment about EVAL name.. double oops.

You have to go to there support site to register,there should be a SuSe Linux folder on the upper left of your firefox browser.The numbers you use to register are on the back of the cd case.

Ah, I went to support site but clicking the register link redirected me to same Novell Portal that little SuSE lizard icon referenced. So I guess you must create an account on the portal site before you can register a product.

To Novell: Your registration process is extremely convoluted and poorly documented (but since you got 3D and WiFi working out of the box on my laptop all is forgiven.) ;)
