On this page:

  http://www.novell.com/products/highavailability/eval.html

It says:

  Please note: Once you login, your evaluation software will
  automatically be registered to you. You will be able to
  immediately access free maintenance patches and updates online
  for a 60-day period following your registration date.

So apparently new users should be able to get the latest maintenance
updates.

Regards,

Tim
