just use a valid SLE 11 code, either a real one or an
evaluation code, as you get it from the download site.

My understanding is that during the beta phase the use
of a valid SLE 11 code will not be "accounted" for.

The SLE 11 "mirror credentials" do work for me: I am
are using the SMT Beta code as announced by Jiri.
Please consult the README provided in the SMT Beta
download directory for advice, how to migrate an
existing, NCC based, SMT to SCC. Make sure to have a
backup of your SMT configuration and data, just in case
you have a need to go back.

Btw.: this would be a good question for the SMT Beta
mailinglist! Hint, hint, ...

so long -
