(for information on NetWare, see page two)

Silver and Ready Partners

Silver and Ready Partners can engage a Novell Authorized Testing Center (NATC) directly to conduct certification for hardware with SUSE Linux Enterprise. Review the YES policies below for additional requirements.

Gold and Platinum Partners

Depending on contract level, Gold and Platinum Partners can self test (after being trained and authorized) a limited amount of hardware with SUSE Linux Enterprise. Gold and Platinum Partners may also engage an NATC directly to conduct YES certification tests on their behalf. Review the YES policies below for additional requirements.

Self Testing Hardware with SUSE Linux Enterprise

To conduct YES self testing, download and install the latest versions and supports packs of SUSE Linux Enterprise and the YES TestConsole with the appropriate YES certification test kit. Test your product per the instructions in the test kit, fix any problems encountered and once corrected, re-run all tests to obtain clean test results. Send your test results to your Novell designated contact for review and validation.
