From Try and Buy Software to Purchase

If you did not try Sun WorkShop 5.0 on a trial basis before buying it, you do not need to read this section.

If you installed Sun WorkShop 5.0 development tools on a trial basis (known as Try and Buy software) and then purchased Sun WorkShop 5.0, you do not need to reinstall your Sun WorkShop 5.0 development tools. You do need to install FLEXlm 6.1 license manager software if you did not install FLEXlm on your license server when you installed your Sun WorkShop Try and Buy development tools.

To determine if you have FLEXlm 6.1 license manager software on your system, follow these steps:

1. Become a superuser (root) by typing:

   % su

   Password: root-password

2. Search for the installed license configuration data package by typing:

   # pkginfo | grep SUNWwslic

   • If there is output from the command, you have FLEXlm 6.1 license manager software already installed. Install your licenses by following the instructions in Chapter 4, Installing Your Licenses. Once your licenses are installed, you will be ready to use your Sun WorkShop development tools.

   • If there is no output about the SUNWwslic package, follow these steps:

   1. Install FLEXlm 6.1 license manager software on your license server.

      The section "Software Installation Steps " describes how to install FLEXlm license manager software.

      Note -

      You do not need to reinstall any of your Sun WorkShop development tools, and you do not need to reset your PATH and MANPATH variables.

      ---

   2. Install your licenses on your license server.

      See Chapter 4, Installing Your Licenses for instructions.

      When your licenses are installed, you are ready to use your Sun WorkShop development tools.

Previous Software Releases

If you do not plan to support this new Sun WorkShop release and previous Sun WorkShop releases on the same machine, you do not need to read this section.

To support previous Sun WorkShop releases as well as this Sun WorkShop release on the same machine, select an installation directory for the new release that is different from the directory where the previous Sun WorkShop releases reside. For example, if you previously installed development tools in /opt, install the new development tools in new-directory by creating a directory called new-directory in a file system with sufficient disk space (for disk space requirements, see the READ_ME_FIRST file at the top level of the Sun WorkShop CD).

Follow the installation instructions in "Software Installation Steps ". After installation, modify your PATH and MANPATH environment variables to include the new-directory area. See "PATH and MANPATH Variables" about setting the variables to access the new release.
