- About UnixWare 7 systems
-
- The UnixWare(r) 7 product line is a family of runtime software,
- development kits, and optional licenses, products, and services that
- enable you to tailor a system to meet your computing needs.
-
- This guide discusses installing the base operating system and optional
- components from the numbered UnixWare 7 CD-ROMs (for example: disks 1, 2,
- and 3 of 3). For the latest information on the contents of your media
- kit, refer to the Installation Roadmap provided with your software.
-
-
- UnixWare 7 licenses
-
- When you install UnixWare 7 runtime software, you enter a license
- corresponding to a UnixWare 7 ``Edition'', a collection of software
- targeted to a specific purpose.
-
- The installation conveniently selects the appropriate software sets,
- services, and packages to install based on your license, allowing you to
- bypass the software selection phase of the installation. If you want to
- customize software selection, you can use the licensed defaults as a base
- from which to install additional services and packages or remove those
- you do not need.
-
- This list of Editions matches currently shipping software. When you
- receive UnixWare 7, more Editions may be available and the contents of
- some Editions may have changed. For example, later releases of some
- products may be included, and obsolete products may be removed.
-
- The UnixWare 7 Editions are:
-
- Base Edition
- The Base Edition supports one user and one CPU, and includes
- networking functionality and SCO ARCserve/Open Lite.
-
- Business Edition
- The Business Edition supports up to 5 users and 1 CPU, and
- includes networking functionality, SCO VisionFS(TM), and SCO
- ARCserve/Open Lite.
-
- Departmental Edition
- The Departmental Edition supports up to 25 users and 2 CPUs, and
- includes SCO VisionFS file and print services and full SCO
- ARCserve/Open backup and restore functionality.

- Kits CD-ROM. For more information on this Edition, see the
- Release Notes for the UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit.

-
- Evaluation licenses
-
- The license you enter during the installation transparently selects the
- correct services and packages to install on your system. If you choose to
- defer licensing during the installation, or if you install products not
- included with your license, you will be issued a free 60-day trial
- license. If you want to continue to use the software after that time,
- contact your vendor to purchase a license, then use the SCOadmin License
- Manager to remove the evaluation license(s) and re-license the software.
-
- If you defer licensing during installation, the system will be installed
- using Departmental Edition service and package selection defaults.
-
- _________________________________________________________________________
- NOTE The Strong Encryption Supplement is not available with an
- evaluation license. You must purchase a license to install this
- supplement.

-
- UnixWare 7 system profiles
-
- During the installation procedure, you can choose to install:
-
- License-Based Defaults
- This choice installs services and packages based on the license
- you purchased and entered. Selecting this option ensures that
- only appropriate, fully-licensed software is installed on your
- system.
-
- Small Footprint Server
- This choice installs a subset of services optimized to work well
- on systems with limited memory and disk capacity. It contains the
- base operating system and networking utilities; it does not
- contain graphics support or SCO ARCserve/Open.
-
- Full (All Packages)
- This choice enables all services and packages available on the
- media, with the exception of supplemental languages and multi-
- processor support. To add these packages, you must select the
- Customize Installation of Packages profile.
-
- Customize Installation of Packages
- You decide which services and packages to load (or not load) onto
- the system. The defaults enabled are based on the license you
- enter during the installation.
-
- _________________________________________________________________________
- NOTE If you choose Customize Installation of Packages or Full (All
- Packages), read ``Evaluation licenses'' to determine how to license
- the additional software you might install.

- Media
-
- The contents of the UnixWare media kit are described in the Installation
- Roadmap provided with your software.

- inch Network Installation Utilities diskettes from the images found in
- the /info/images directory on the UnixWare Installation CD-ROM. See
- (/info/images/readme.htm) for more information.
