smp kernel

vdrdr
Hi!
We downloaded Novell Security Manager powered by Astaro evaluation version and are currently testing it in order to replace our Border Manager.
I understand that the evaluation version should be "full feature", however during installation on IBM server with two Xeon processors it says that smp kernel image could not be found. The other two options work fine.
Does it have something to do with the fact that I'm using the evaluation version?
If so, what should I do if I buy, say, 250 licenses and than want to enable the multiprocessor option on that very server?
Is it necessary to reinstall and will my backup, made on a single processor server, work also on a multiprocessor one? I guess it will, but just to make sure...
Btw, this product seems great and we are definetly going to replace our BorderManager with it.
Thx

    What install image did you use (6.105)? Normaly the smp kernel should be available on the cd. And demo license should work with it too. 
    Yes you need to reinstall, to install with smp kernel. (Manual would be possible too, but would take longer [;)])
    The config-files are independent from the kernel version and the numbers of processors.

    Thank you for your answer.
    I downloaded demo version from Novell site a week ago and it was 6.002. Later I have upgraded it to 6.105.
    Maybe they used a different version. I'll try to download it again later.
    Thanks anyway.
