Preface

Sun WorkShop 6 Installation and Licensing Reference

Preface

Sun WorkShop Installation and Licensing Reference gives instructions for how to:

Configure servers
Manage and administer licenses
Request additional licenses and upgrades

This book is designed for system administrators who install software and configure license servers so that users can access licensed software. Experience with the Solaris^TM operating environment and UNIX® commands is required.

Multiplatform Release

This Sun WorkShop release supports versions 2.6, 7, and 8 of the Solaris^TM SPARC^TM Platform Edition and Solaris Intel Platform Edition Operating Environments.

Note – The term "x86" refers to the Intel 8086 family of microprocessor chips, including the Pentium, Pentium Pro, and Pentium II processors and compatible microprocessor chips made by AMD and Cyrix. In this document, the term "x86" refers to the overall platform architecture, whereas "Intel Platform Edition" appears in the product name.

Access to Sun WorkShop Development Tools

Because Sun WorkShop product components and man pages do not install into the standard /usr/bin/ and /usr/share/man directories, you must change your PATH and MANPATH environment variables to enable access to Sun WorkShop compilers and tools.

To determine if you need to set your PATH environment variable:
1. Display the current value of the PATH variable by typing:

% echo $PATH
2. Review the output for a string of paths containing /opt/SUNWspro/bin/.

If you find the paths, your PATH variable is already set to access Sun WorkShop development tools. If you do not find the paths, set your PATH environment variable by following the instructions in this section.

To determine if you need to set your MANPATH environment variable:
1. Request the workshop man page by typing:

% man workshop
2. Review the output, if any.

If the workshop(1) man page cannot be found or if the man page displayed is not for the current version of the software installed, follow the instructions in this section for setting your MANPATH environment variable.
Note – The information in this section assumes that your Sun WorkShop 6 products were installed in the /opt directory. Contact your system administrator if your Sun WorkShop software is not installed in /opt.

The PATH and MANPATH variables should be set in your home .cshrc file if you are using the C shell or in your home .profile file if you are using the Bourne or Korn shells:

To use Sun WorkShop commands, add the following to your PATH variable:

/opt/SUNWspro/bin

To access Sun WorkShop man pages with the man command, add the following to your MANPATH variable:

/opt/SUNWspro/man

For more information about the PATH variable, see the csh(1), sh(1), and ksh(1) man pages. For more information about the MANPATH variable, see the man(1) man page. For more information about setting your PATH and MANPATH variables to access this release, see the Changing PATH and MANPATH Variables section in the Sun WorkShop 6 Installation Guide or your system administrator.
