Installing software

In the Software Manager:

1. From the Software menu, select Install New.
   

2. 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.

   • To complete the installation of software that is loaded on the local host, in the SCO OpenServer Handbook select Loaded Software as the media device.

   
   To install from another host, see the instructions in ``Installing from remote source machines''.

   NOTE: The media (tape or 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'' in the SCO OpenServer Handbook.

3. Select the software items that you want from the list of available software, and click on Install.

   NOTE: When installing patched software, patched files are not copied from the server. Instead, the original versions of the files are copied over. Patches must be applied to target machines separately.

   A package is the smallest software item you can install with the Software Manager. To restore a damaged or missing file, see customextract(ADM).
   
   

4. 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'' in the SCO OpenServer Handbook for instructions on licensing the product.
