How do I upgrade from an n-user SCO Unix licence?

If you are using OSR5, you simply install the new license pack from SCOAdmin License.

If you are upgrading the user licence but staying on the same release of the operating system, you need to rebrand the appropriate files with the new serial number/activation key that you get in the upgrade kit.

If you're upgrading to a more recent release, use the intelligent upgrade procedure built into the upgrade package. This will not only update your OS to the current level, but will also upgrade your user licence to what you ordered.
