network machines from their local hard disk, you must use
the “license” utility to add serial numbers to each hard disks
you wish to boot from. Once you have done this on a single
hard disk, you can use “license” to copy the serial numbers
across the network from one hard disk to another and thus
avoid having to re-insert floppies. Note that license files cannot
be copied by
cp
.
For more information on the “license” utility, see the
Utilities
Reference.
NOTE: For licensing to work across a network, the boot server (the
machine with the licenses) must be running the “nameloc” utility. If a
machine has a local hard disk (with licenses) and a network card,
but is not on a network, a portable, for example, it must also run
“nameloc” for licensing to work.
