- Our site has a license pool of 43 floating licenses on a SUN network. We
- purchased the $100 media fee (FrameMaker 3.1X) for the HP and Apollo
- platforms. As long as they can access the SUN network, our HP and Apollo
- users can check out a license from our SUN floating license pool. All
- we really had to do when we installed FrameMaker on the HP and Apollo was
- edit $FMHOME/.fminit2.0/env.{csh,sh} by defining two environment
- variables: FRAMEUSERSD_HOST and FRAMEUSERSD_RC.
