Yes as that's the way I choose for my personal installs (that is, 
installs tied to me personally as Knowledge Partner, beta tester, etc. 
as opposed to work installs which are not registered with NCC/SCC, SMT, 
etc.).

Since it's a (broken) VM I'll try reinstalling and registering during 
install.

Well it added some repos but PHP was still not found so I suspect 
SUSEConnect didn't handle access to Modules.

Note this was all done via text-mode terminal with no GUI in sight (it's 
a server!) or use of YaST - literally just zypper and SUSEConnect commands.

That would help as I hope will your beta presentation.

Thanks,
