SCO Versions 5.0.5-5.0.6 or greater?

All,
Im endeavoring to do a VirtualBox install on a PC. I have a registerd version 5.0.5. Somewhere on the s forum I recall reading I can upgrade to 5.0.6??
And at a max? without causing any unseen license issues. My questions are.

1: whats the benefit of any versions like 5.0.6 that I might want the incremental upgrade?

2: If advised does anyone have a / the necessary iso image/s I can use for the incremental upgrade? Would greatly be apreciated!

fwiw: Im am going to try the VM install and will be happy to report back my findings. My install scenarios is currently.

Proposed OS platform SCOUnix 5.0.5 (currently)

Host PC: Dell tower Pentium D 3.0GHz 2GB ram 80 Gb Sata Drive.
VM software: Oracles VirtualBox

Reasons to upgrade to 5.0.6:
Can I install OpenServer 5.0.4 5.0.5 or 5.0.6 on a Pentium 4 based machine?

What is SLS OSS621B, the OpenServer 5.0.4/5.0.5 libc Supplement?

The standard OS install cd can be used to do a fresh install or an upgrade install.

After reading the above post it sounds like a cleaner install path.
Does anyone have a 5.0.6 Image?

I have not been sucessful yet on my installation of SCO on a VM.
Im getting common errors (relative to others on the net) But Ive ben working thru them little by little.

Many thanks!
