OSR5 FAQ

How do I get rid of that "Unregistered Software" message?

By registering the software.

You need to run "scoadmin" (either with the GUI or the character mode tool) and get to the License Manager. There you will see your SCO products, and als, at the bottom of the screen, will be a "SCO System ID". You need that number, and the serial number for each product you want to register.

Go to http://www.caldera.com/support/registration and fill out the forms there to obtain registration codes for each product. Then return to the License Manager and register them.

This is entirely a cosmetic issue: nothing will ever stop working or work differently due to not registering.
