Error HELP! Recovering system from New Orleans!!
I am helping a company recover a system that is SCO OS 5.0.5 - they have their backup media, cd copies of SCO, but they do not have their license keys to install and SCO is being difficult in validating their license.

Does anyone have an install license key for 5.0.5 that they would be willing to allow this company to get up an running until they can get back in their offices (which may be 6 months!)?

You may contact me offline if you need to. Please reply and I will provide you with a contact phone number.

Thanks!!!!!

Can you power on the old system? If so you can make a backup copy from there and won't need any license information.

Also, if the backups are of the operating system no license info would be required. You just would have an unregistered copy. Since the company has a license (just missing atm) you should be covered.
