Sun WorkShop Quick Install

What's New in This Release

The following are installation and licensing changes for this Sun WorkShop release:

There are new installation and licensing man pages: adjust_flexlm_owner, clustadd, clustinfo, license_errors, and lit_tty.

Sun WorkShop products now use the sunwlicd vendor daemon. You must install the FLEXlm 6.1 license manager software provided with this release to get this new vendor daemon binary; otherwise, licensing will not function properly.

If you installed Sun WorkShop 5.0 pre-release software, you were required to obtain new licenses for the Sun WorkShop 5.0 Developer Release because that is when Sun WorkShop products changed to the sunwlicd vendor daemon. However, your licenses for the Sun WorkShop 5.0 Early Access release, which used the sunlicd vendor daemon, are still in the license file. If a Sun WorkShop product tries to use an old license before finding a current one, an error message is written to the license_log file. To prevent Sun WorkShop products from finding old licenses and issuing these error messages, do the following:
1. Create a backup copy of the /etc/opt/licenses/licenses_combined file.
2. Edit the licenses_combined file, deleting all lines that reference the sunlicd vendor daemon.
3. Restart the license server. See the Sun WorkShop Installation and Licensing Reference for information about license administration utilities and how to restart the license server.

The Solaris 1.x.x operating environment is no longer supported by Sun as a platform for FLEXlm license servers. If you have a license server for your Sun WorkShop licenses on a Solaris 1.x.x system, create a second license server in your Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6, or Solaris 7 operating environment. Install the FLEXlm software that comes with Sun WorkShop 5.0 and your Sun WorkShop 5.0 licenses on the new license server. Use your old license server to continue managing the licenses it is managing.

Sun WorkShop 5.0 licenses are not compatible with previous versions of Sun WorkShop.
