Performing An Upgrade To Solaris 7 11/99 - Sun Microsystems Solaris 7 11/99 Hardware Platform Manual

FLEXlm-Based Licensing
License management (the license server) is normally tied to a machine host ID. On a
Sun Enterprise 10000 system, the license server is tied to the domain host ID. Each
domain receives its own domain host ID.
Therefore, if licensing is installed on a Sun Enterprise 10000 system, it must be
installed in a domain that will not be removed. Adding or removing processors from
the domain will not affect licensing, as long as the domain always has at least one
active processor.
If licensing ever needs to be moved from one domain to another, the licenses will
need to be regenerated using the new domain host ID. This is identical to the
situation when moving the license server from one machine to another. This process
is called a server move; contact the Sun License Center to request a server move.
For more licensing information, use the following Sun License Center URL:

To obtain the Sun Enterprise 10000 system domain host ID, type hostid in a shell
window.
Other Software Licensing
Other software vendors may have unique software licensing policies on the Sun
Enterprise 10000 system. All major independent service providers have been notified
and should have software policies in place. For additional information, contact your
service provider.

These upgrade instructions are intended only for the Sun Enterprise 10000 server.
You should read this entire section before you attempt to upgrade the domain.
Caution – If you are installing Solaris 7 11/99 on a Sun Enterprise 10000 domain,
the SSP must be running SSP 3.1, SSP 3.1.1, or SSP 3.2. SSP 3.0 does not support
Solaris 7 11/99. Please refer to your Solaris Media Kit for instructions on how to
install the SSP software.
