NOTE:
The procedure for installing a
patch
is now the same as
the procedure for installing any other software.
Also, there is no longer an option to ``apply'' a patch
(activate it on its target software) without loading it.
From the Software menu,
select Install New.
Select the current host, then:
To install from a CD, tape, or floppy disk,
identify the media device and insert your installation media.
To install from media images on the local host,
select Media Images as the media device and
identify the image directory.
Media images must follow the naming convention:
VOL.000.000, VOL.001.000, etc.
To complete the installation of software that is
loaded on the local host,
select Loaded Software as the media device.
NOTE:
The CD-ROM from which you install the SCO OpenServer
system also contains many other SCO products.
You must purchase, install, license, and register these additional
products separately.
See
``Additional licenses and products''.
Select the software items that you want from the list of
available software, and click on Install.
The list of available software does not include individual files.
To restore a damaged or missing file, see
customextract(ADM).
To license the product during installation, enter the license number
and code from the Certificate of License and Authenticity when prompted.
If you defer licensing at this time, see
``Licensing products''
for instructions on licensing the product.
To install software on a machine across the network,
from the Host menu, select Open Host.
Then, type in the host name, or
click on Select to choose from a list of hosts.
(Sort the list by host name or IP address by
toggling the Sort by buttons, or
type one or more characters into the ``Filter'' field
to search for a host name.)
Then, install the software as you would locally.
