Licensing and registering SCO products

UnixWare license has expired

If the License Manager indicates your operating system license is expired, check the system clock by entering the date(1) command. If the date is incorrect, you should log in as root (or a system owner) and enter this command:

setclk

This updates the system time with that of the battery-powered hardware clock (CMOS). If date is still incorrect, use this form of the date command to update the system clock.

date MMDDhhmmCCYY

where MMDDhhmmCCYY is the correct time in month-date-hour-minute-century-year format. For example, here is the correct entry for 9:31 AM on August 31, 1997:

   083109311997

Once you have changed the clock time to reflect the current time, reboot your system, start the License Manager and check to see if the license has changed from ``Expired'' to ``Yes.'' Your operating system license should be fully operational within the options specified by the license.

Checking for UnixWare product license expiration

The expiration information for licenses is shown in the main display for the License Manager under ``Status''. If you have an expiring license, the display will read Valid Until date.
