I need to set up a temporary SCO OS box to demo a medical office
application for all of three days. I have my OS 5.0.6 CD, but I
can't find the paperwork with came with it. That paperwork also had
the demo license info to activate the 60-day license. Or is the demo
license activated by just deferring the licensing, like UW7?

Does the demo license allow the full use of the base OS? And is
NFS support already compiled into the kernel after installation?

In those days, through and including SCO Open Server 5.0.6 lounge partner
members got a free copy and could download a licence page for Open Server,
UnixWare, etc.

Yes, you got full functionality, including the development system. I've
been running 5.0.6 for so long that I am now trying to re-establish a
graphics window. It came with tty02 running graphics and I disabled it
because I didn't need it. Now I need to set up graphics again, progably on
tty08 but what was a simple process to disable is not an easy process to
enable.

I think those fully free days are gone.

What's so hard about 'scologin disable' and 'scologin enable' ? *shrug*

The paperwork includes an Enterprise 5 user, SMP, VDM and Development
system 60 day evaluation license. You will need to locate these
licenses to do the install.

The demo license does allow full use of the base OS and NFS is
already compiled and supported in the kernel.

If you cannot locate your paperwork, drop me an email and I
can provide you with a copy of the eval license.

I fully realize that. I've had a free SCO license since they first
came out with 5.0.1 ('96?), and still maintain my SCO box based on
that license. Whether or not the free license is still valid, I'm
trying to uphold the license terms by not reusing the license to
setup the demo box (it's a snap to extract all needed license info
from my box), but using the demo license for a temporary box.

The SCO box will be used to demo setting up NFS to serve a database
to Windows based NFS clients in a medical office setting. This is a
requirementof the Windows application using the NFS export, out of
my control.
