Completing the License Request Form

You must use English when completing the License Request Form if you will be contacting the Sun License Center located in the United States.

To obtain your licenses, complete the License Request Form by following these steps:

1. Put the Sun WorkShop 5.0 CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2. Copy the License Request Form template from the CD to a file name on your system by typing:

   % cp /cdrom/devpro_v6n1_platform/License_Request_Form filename

   Replace platform with sparc if you use the Solaris SPARC Platform Edition operating environment or intel if you use the Solaris Intel Platform Edition operating environment.

   The file is read only when you copy it from the CD to your system; you will need to change permissions on the file in order to write to it.

3. Open your copy of the License Request Form in your preferred editor.

4. In section 1a, type your name, company name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address.

5. In section 1b, type an X next to the description that best describes your job title.

6. In section 2, type an X next to the method that the Sun License Center should use to send your license information to you.

   Note -

   If you ask the Sun License Center to fax your license information to you, you must retype your license information when you install your licenses; if you ask the Sun License Center to email your license information to you, you do not have to retype it.

   ---

7. In section 3, type the product name, version number, number of rights to use (RTUs) for which you want a license, and the serial number.

   Use the information listed on your Proof of License Certificate (in your product packaging). You do not have to install all of the RTUs listed on your Proof of License Certificate at the same time.

8. In section 4, complete either section 4a or 4b with your license server information.

   ---

   Note -

   If you will be using a multiple independent license server configuration, complete a separate License Request Form for each license server.

   ---

   For floating licenses, you have completed the License Request Form when you have completed section 4 of the form. Skip to "Contacting the Sun License Center".

   ---

   Note -

   If you want to use the same license server for both floating and Personal Edition (node-locked) licenses, complete a separate License Request Form for each license configuration.

   ---

9. If you purchased a Personal Edition (node-locked) product, type the node-locked hostid in section 5 of the form.

   Use the output of /usr/bin/hostid for the machine (node) to which the licensed software will be locked (the licensed software will run only on the specified node).

   ---

   Note -

   Single independent (including node-locked) and redundant server licenses cannot be mixed in the same license file (the licenses_combined file). A license server and its license file is for either a single independent server or a three redundant server set. A license server cannot handle both. A Personal Edition (node-locked) license can be installed on a three redundant server set. The Personal Edition hostid on the INCREMENT line in the license file can be the hostid of one of the redundant servers, if that is where the licensed application will be run, or it can be the hostid of an entirely different machine.

10. If you purchased a Sun WorkShop product through the GoldPass or ScholarPASS programs, type your site number and network domain name or names in section 6 of the form.

    For more information about the GoldPass and ScholarPASS programs, see Chapter 5, Requesting and Installing Domain-Based Licenses.
