Manually relicencing an SCO Openserver 5.0.x system =================================================== 1. Bring the system up into system maintainance mode. You can do this by booting the system and typing in the root password when prompted. If the system is already booted, you can get into single user mode by running the command: shutdown -i1 -g0 -y Note that this will bring the system down immediately with no warning to users currently logged in. If this is not desireable, change the value after "-g" to a number of seconds you want to elapse before the system shuts down. 2. Make a backup of your nodelock file. cd /usr/lib/netls/conf cp nodelock nodelock.good 3. Using your favourite text editor, open the "nodelock" file and remove all lines after the first, which should end with the string "unused". Save these changes and exit the editor. 4. Apply the licence information from your COLA (Certificate Of License Authenticity) to the system: brand -g -a "<licence data>" <licence number> <licence code> 5. Make a backup of your kernel btmnt -w cp /stand/unix /stand/unix.good btmnt -r 6. Apply the licence information from your COLA to the kernel: brand -a "<licence date>" <serial number> <licence code> \ /etc/conf/pack.d/kernel/os.a 7. Relink the unix kernel. /etc/conf/cf.d/link_unix
