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
