Certification Framework

The SUSE Ready certification provides your customers with the assurance that a commercial software solution is supported by the solution vendor when installed on, or when interfacing with a specific SUSE product. It is a self-certification process that says the software vendor has performed the testing necessary to state that their solution functions properly with SUSE products and has commercial vendor support.

The SUSE Ready certification is generally valid for the duration of major product versions. If you have questions about whether to re-certify your product for updates during the life of a version, please contact the INNOVATE Team.
