Loading Registration Codes From an USB Storage (Flash Drive HDD)
To make the registration easier you can store your registration codes on an USB storage like a flash drive. YaST will automatically pre-fill the corresponding input fields. This makes the registration more convenient esp. if you need to register many systems or when testing the installation.
Currently the USB drives are scanned only during installation or upgrade. At installed system the scanning is skipped to not interfere with the running system.
Use either /regcodes.txt or /regcodes.xml on a USB disk. In the file identify the product with the name quoted by zypper search --type product or SUSEConnect --list-extensions (without the /version/architecture part).
regcodes.txt:
SLES cc36aae1
SLED 309105d4
sle-we 5eedd26a
sle-live-patching 8c541494
regcodes.xml: (xml wins if both xml and txt are present)
