No, SuSEManger can  not do it since there is no product with that name.
SUSE has no lower case 'u' since over 10 years ....

To my knowledge, SUSE Manager is only able to do a online
migrations, so no, SUSE Manager will not be able to upgrade von
SLES 11 SPx to SLES 12. An online migration will never be possible
for technical reasons. And was never possible, neither von SLES7 -> SLES8,
SLES8 -> SLES9, SLES9 -> SLES10 nor from SLES10 -> SLES11.
