zypper migration fails with: Registration server returned 'The provided Registration Code xxxxxxxxx has expired' (422)

Troubleshooting


Problem

The zypper migration process from fails during the product upgrade phase. The migration tool attempts to communicate with SUSE Customer Center (SCC) to authorize the transition to the target version and fetch necessary product activations and repository metadata. The system is registered with an expired registration code, causing SCC to reject the registration request for the target version. You'll see the error message:

Registration server returned 'The provided Registration Code xxxxxxxxx has expired' (422)
