Get Your Licenses

To get your licenses, complete the License Request Form using the procedures below:

1. Put the product CD into your CD-ROM drive.

Make sure you use the Solaris 2.x CD.

2. Copy the License Request Form template from the CD to a directory on your system, by typing:

% cp /cdrom/devpro_v5n1_<platform>\
/License_Request_Form
<directory>/<file>

3. Open your copy of the License Request Form in your favorite editor.

4. Complete the License Request Form using the instructions in the template.

Contact the Sun License Center

1. Paste your completed License Request Form in your email composition tool.

2. Send this email to the Sun License Center.

Refer to the License Certificate for the email addresses.

3. Continue with "Install Your Products."


Install Your Products

The default installation directory is /opt. You can install software and licenses in another directory by indicating your <installation_directory> when you invoke workshop_install.

1. Using your source computer window environment (OpenWindows for example), enable remote client access by typing the following at a command line:

% xhost +

2. Become root; then make your current directory the CD-ROM drive.

% su

Password: <root_password>

# cd /cdrom/devpro_v5n1_<platform>

3. Using Figure 1-1 on page 4, determine if you want to perform a local or remote installation.
To complete only a local installation go to step 4. For a remote installation, complete the following tasks:

a. Add the following line to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file:

share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom\
/devpro_v5n1_<
platform>

b. Make sure the source machine is an NFS server by typing:

# ps -ef | grep nfsd

A line similar to the following should appear:

root 237 1 17 Jun 04 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs /nfsd -a 16

c. If you get a line similar to the above, export your product directory by typing:

# shareall

If you do not get a similar line, type:

# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

d. Make sure your source machine is exporting your product directory by typing:

# dfshares

A line similar to the following should appear:

RESOURCE SERVER ACCESS TRANSPORT

<server_name:><product_location> <product_location> - -

e. Log in to the target machine with root access by typing:

# rlogin <target_machine_name> -l root

f. Create a mount point and mount the product directory by typing:

# mkdir /remote_products

# mount -F nfs -r
<source_machine_name>:/cdrom
/devpro_v5n1_<
platform> /remote_products

g. Depending on the shell you use, redirect the remote machine's display by typing one of the following:

Using a C Shell, type:

# setenv DISPLAY <source_machine_name>:0

Using a Bourne Shell, type:

# DISPLAY=<source_machine_name>:0

# export DISPLAY

h. Change your directory to where you mounted the software by typing:

# cd /remote_products

i. Continue with step 4.

4. Run workshop_install by typing:

# ./workshop_install


Note - Do not type an ampersand (&) after workshop_install to invoke the tool in the background.

5. If you want to install your software in a directory other than /opt, type y; then enter the location where you want the software installed.

Otherwise, type n to install in /opt.

The Install Software window is displayed, as shown in
