Installing a License

C

Site/SunNet/Domain Manager is a licensed product. You need a license for each host that the product mounted on it. The license password is an alphanumeric code that you must obtain from the license distribution center and type in during installation. You can either install the license at the same time you install the software or else you can install the license at a later time.

This chapter describes the installation procedure for the license if you choose to do this installation after installing the Site/SunNet/Domain Manager software packages.
