UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I'm trying to setup a test environment to test upgrading to Solaris 8 or 9. Though when I go to install the demo version of Sun1 (forte/sun workshop as named before) it'll still ask for a 20 hexidecminal password for just a demo. huh?

Ok so I added a 20 character thing in there it passed that part then when it went to install the license it said it worked. But with I went to try workshop it would load (So it installed right) but says no license is installed.

So how do I remove the software? (I've never removed before this type of software)

Then when I run the setup again. What should I do differently to make it work?

I don't knwo i'm doing everything it's only a demo version I want to set it up as.

Oh yeah and yes it wont let me go on without entering a 20 digit password thing.

Thx in advanced!

How did you install the license (see below)? What is the exact error you get when it states "no license installed"?

You might try /etc/opt/licenses/lit (GUI) or
/etc/opt/licenses/lit_tty (command line interface) to install the demo licenses. No need to remove the software as this may fix your problem.

I used the GUI after the install I selected to install the license. Everuthing seems to work fine on installing a license.

But when I open workshop it'll have a little box that will appear over the rest with the license info (well where it should be) and it'll say i've got 0 out of 0 licenses to use/left. It's like the install of the license worked but the program wont see the license.

Either that or no error messages were displayed.

I've got another machine I have to setup and test some things. I'll do the above install again and take extra note for error messages and post them if they happen.


Thx for the help
