Follow these steps for installation:
Domain-based passwords function without using a centralized license manager and without enforcing hard limits on the number of users. However, your software license may limit the number of users; these limits are defined in the licensing agreement.
The licensed software operates as long as the requesting user of the licensed software is on a valid network domain.
The license agreement signed by your organization includes information about the network domains where licensed software is installed. Passwords are issued only for the domains associated with your site as described in your agreement. Depending on how your network domains are set up, you can acquire a password for a single product (or product feature) that makes it available on all of the network domains at your site.
You can also receive individual passwords for each domain and subdomain. This allows you reasonable control of user access to the software. For example, the license agreement may simply identify my_org.org as the domain on which licensed software may operate. However, you can acquire a password for a particular subdomain (for example, eng.my_org.org) and limit access to the subdomain as well as its subdomains.
You get your passwords from the Sun License Center. You can contact the Sun License Center by email, fax, or telephone. We recommend that you contact the center by email.
