Umm, not at all.

8.0,8.1,8.2 were available as personal and professional versions (upgrade 
versions as well).

SuSE Enterprise 8 (SLES-8) is a different beast all together. It is based on 
the United Linux 1.0 core which was mostly SuSE (8.0) to begin with. This is 
SuSE's enterprise level stuff (somewhat akin to RedHat's Advanced Server 
line).

The service packs for SLES-8 where 1,2,2a and finally 3.

Need more details? Let me know.
