- hi steve!
-
- normally (if this might be the sufficient word) this is being caused by an
- activation key that dosn't have server privileges. (such as a demonstration
- or single-user license).
-
- First check out, if you have used the correct server-key when installing the
- system. You can check the key by looking into /usr/adm/messages.
-
- Hope this helps.
