Moving SCO Virtual Machine in VMWare Environment: Critical Licensing Error Messages

Some years ago our company chose to run a critical proprietary app under SCO Unix.

My predecessor tried to move A SCO Unix virtual machine from our dedicated VMWare environment to a shared Cloud VMWare environment. My predecessor received licensing messages from these critical servers so moving this machine was canceled.

I do not have access to licensing messages and my predecessor is not available to try to recall them.

Has anybody else had a similar issue ? Is SCO still in business ? Can we purchase a couple of inexpensive licenses and/or find our old licensing information on our servers to reuse the license on the same server in a new location.

Thx

NAME
stlicense - server access control program for X SYNOPSIS
stlicense [-v] [-fp directory] {-fn typeface | -pr product} [[+-]netdev ...] DESCRIPTION
The stlicense program is run interactively by the font administrator to give devices attached to hosts on the network, netdevs, access to typefaces. Responsibility for maintaining security rests with users root, bin, and the owners of the font directories. OPTIONS
stlicense accepts the command line options described below. -fp directory The path of directories to search for the specified product or typeface. The directories must have the suffix .st or they will be ignored. If several directories are specified, they are separated by the colon (":") character. Stlicense will search the path until it finds a directory that contains the specified product or typeface. It will use that directory for all of its operations. If no -fp option is specifies, the value of environment variable STPATH is used. If neither -fp nor STPATH is present, the default path is /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ifo.st. -fn typeface The typeface being licensed. It is specified as an XLFD font name. The entire font name does not have to be specified. The pro- gram will use the first typeface whose name matches the name specified. -pr product Specifying a product instead of a typeface provides a convenient way to license collections of typefaces. Product names are estab- lished when typefaces are loaded. Use either the -fn or the -pr option, but never both. One of them must be present for license additions or removals. -v The verbose option controls the number of messages returned. By default, stlicense prints messages only when a request could not be fulfilled. With the verbose option, status messages are printed for all licensing requests. -help If this is the only option specified, a brief message listing the valid options to stlicense will be printed. +netdev The netdev is granted a license to the product or typeface specified. Adding a product license to the netdev means adding licenses to all of the typefaces which comprise the product. The netdev is specified in the form host:device. The host name is a node on the network. They can be discless nodes, workstations, and the like. The device, usually a printer, is attached to the host. The name of the device must be a valid file name. Special host STSYSTEM refers to all nodes on the network; typefaces licensed to STSYSTEM are available to every host. Special device DISPLAYS refers to all servers running on the host. Special device PRINTERS refers to all printers connected to the host. The host defaults to the host on which stlicense is running. The device defaults to DISPLAYS. Adding a product license to a netdev which already has a license for the product causes the net- dev's fonts.dir file to be updated with the current definition of the product. -netdev The license for specified typeface or product is removed from this netdev. netdev The products/typefaces licensed for this netdev are displayed. If the -pr or -fn option is specified, stlicense reports whether the specified product or typeface is licensed for this netdev. In the case of typefaces, only those that have been individually licensed with the -fn option (that is, not licensed as part of a product with the -pr option) can be queried by this option. As with addition and removal of licenses, the host and device portions of the netdev specification default to `hostname` and DIS- PLAYS (respectively). So running stlicense without any [+|-]netdev arguments is identical to specifying an argument of `host- name`:DISPLAYS; licensing information is returned for device DISPLAYS for the host on which stlicense is running. FILES
This program updates the netdev's license files in the licenses subdirectory of the typeface directory (*.st). It creates and deletes licensing files as necessary. If files for the netdev do not exist, it creates them. Deleting the last license from a netdev will cause the netdev's licensing files to be deleted. Hosts have directories in licenses. Devices have directories within their host's directory. Typefaces available to the netdev are stored in fonts.dir. Product licenses issued to the netdev are stored in products.dir. The typefaces that comprise valid products are specified in the products directory of typeface directories (*.st). EXAMPLES
stlicense -pr builtin +STSYSTEM:DISPLAYS Licenses the Intellifont fonts contained in the product "builtin" (and listed in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ifo.st/products/builtin) for all dis- plays. stlicense -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1.st -pr builtin +STSYSTEM:DISPLAYS Licenses the Type 1 fonts contained in the product "builtin" (and listed in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1.st/products/builtin) for all displays.
