Well, adding beta product subscriptions to partners and customers by default is
an appealing idea, however I want to minimise the confusion or misusage of beta
subscriptions in production environment. It’s a different approach when someone
is requesting a beta code to be used for a specific need at a specific time and
it’s less prone to misusage or confusion because the requester should knows what
he requested.

That being said, we are working on providing Beta Registration Codes directly
from our SUSE Customer Center.
I have to admit that this feature is already available to our SUSE Employees. 
But we need a bit more time to make this feature meet our quality standards for a
broader audience. 
So sorry for the tease without any ETA or details, we are still working on it!

> Since I only wanted to check if my installation description (for setting up a database) is still valid I was going with a non-Subscription package install like it worked well before. I don’t work with SLES on a daily base so all these strange conventions just make it harder - it might not be a problem for people running it. But then again, I can imagine with a cumbersome developer out of the box experience it does not improve adoption. (You are just spoiled if you can netinstall any open distro)

Thanks for the feedback it’s important for us to gather inputs from people with
different profiles and needs.
