Passing from SP6 beta to RC1 (dedicated to partners and then the public ones)

[Cecchi, Gianluca]

Hello,
I had a system with SLES 15 SP5 where I applied SP6 beta.
Questions:
. I know that for testing purposes is not optimal, but how to pass from SP6 beta to partner RC, and public RC when available? Do I have to use the existing registration code or what?
. do I need to request the beta registration code multiple times or can I reuse the first one for another system?

My current situation is the one below with SP6 beta and with error on SP5 repo (donna if expected or not...). How to fix it? Currently both migration and update options for zipper command give nothing
Current packages, related to kernel and virtualization, on the system are these ones:

kernel-default-6.4.0-150600.9.6.x86_64
libvirt-*-10.0.0-150600.3.3.x86_64
qemu-*-8.2.1-150600.3.6.x86_64

I would like to test the updates provided
