This section describes enhancements to the installation program for Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2018.
Beginning with OES 2018, OES is installed only through OES Install Media, which is a single integrated install media that includes both SLES and OES. Traditional OES installation included both add-on install (SLES and OES as separate media) and integrated install media (a single media that includes both SLES and OES). The support for the add-on install is deprecated.
Beginning with OES 2018, a single activation key is used to obtain the OES channels. SLES 12 keys are not required separately. OES includes both SLES and OES update channels.
All OES 2018 channels are available from NCC as earlier.
