About UnixWare 7 systems
The UnixWare(r) 7 product line is a family of runtime software,
development kits, and optional licenses, products, and services that
enable you to tailor a system to meet your computing needs.
This guide discusses installing the base operating system and optional
components from the numbered UnixWare 7 CD-ROMs (for example: disks 1, 2,
and 3 of 3). For the latest information on the contents of your media
kit, refer to the Installation Roadmap provided with your software.
UnixWare 7 licenses
When you install UnixWare 7 runtime software, you enter a license
corresponding to a UnixWare 7 ``Edition'', a collection of software
targeted to a specific purpose.
The installation conveniently selects the appropriate software sets,
services, and packages to install based on your license, allowing you to
bypass the software selection phase of the installation. If you want to
customize software selection, you can use the licensed defaults as a base
from which to install additional services and packages or remove those
you do not need.
This list of Editions matches currently shipping software. When you
receive UnixWare 7, more Editions may be available and the contents of
some Editions may have changed. For example, later releases of some
products may be included, and obsolete products may be removed.
The UnixWare 7 Editions are:
Base Edition
The Base Edition supports one user and one CPU, and includes
networking functionality and SCO ARCserve/Open Lite.
Business Edition
The Business Edition supports up to 5 users and 1 CPU, and
includes networking functionality, SCO VisionFS(TM), and SCO
ARCserve/Open Lite.
Departmental Edition
The Departmental Edition supports up to 25 users and 2 CPUs, and
includes SCO VisionFS file and print services and full SCO
ARCserve/Open backup and restore functionality.
Development Edition
The Development Edition includes software from the Development
Kits CD-ROM. For more information on this Edition, see the
Release Notes for the UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit.
Enterprise Edition
The Enterprise Edition supports up to 50 users and 4 CPUs, plus
full Online Data Manager (ODM) functionality, SCO VisionFS (full
version), and SCO ARCserve/Open (full version).
Intranet Edition
The Intranet Edition supports one user and up to 2 CPUs, and
includes SCO ARCserve/Open (full version), SCO VisionFS, Netscape
Enterprise Server(TM), and Netscape Directory Server(TM).
Messaging Edition
The Messaging Edition supports one user and up to 2 CPUs, and
includes SCO ARCserve/Open (full version), Netscape Mail
Server(TM), and Netscape Directory Server.
Evaluation licenses
The license you enter during the installation transparently selects the
correct services and packages to install on your system. If you choose to
defer licensing during the installation, or if you install products not
included with your license, you will be issued a free 60-day trial
license. If you want to continue to use the software after that time,
contact your vendor to purchase a license, then use the SCOadmin License
Manager to remove the evaluation license(s) and re-license the software.
If you defer licensing during installation, the system will be installed
using Departmental Edition service and package selection defaults.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE The Strong Encryption Supplement is not available with an
evaluation license. You must purchase a license to install this
supplement.

UnixWare 7 system profiles
During the installation procedure, you can choose to install:
License-Based Defaults
This choice installs services and packages based on the license
you purchased and entered. Selecting this option ensures that
only appropriate, fully-licensed software is installed on your
system.
Small Footprint Server
This choice installs a subset of services optimized to work well
on systems with limited memory and disk capacity. It contains the
base operating system and networking utilities; it does not
contain graphics support or SCO ARCserve/Open.
Full (All Packages)
This choice enables all services and packages available on the
media, with the exception of supplemental languages and multi-
processor support. To add these packages, you must select the
Customize Installation of Packages profile.
Customize Installation of Packages
You decide which services and packages to load (or not load) onto
the system. The defaults enabled are based on the license you
enter during the installation.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE If you choose Customize Installation of Packages or Full (All
Packages), read ``Evaluation licenses'' to determine how to license
the additional software you might install.
_________________________________________________________________________
For a complete description of all available services and packages, see
the Runtime Release Notes.
Media
The contents of the UnixWare media kit are described in the Installation
Roadmap provided with your software.
If you are performing a networked installation, you must create two 3.5
inch Network Installation Utilities diskettes from the images found in
the /info/images directory on the UnixWare Installation CD-ROM. See
(/info/images/readme.htm) for more information.
In addition to the UnixWare media, your vendor may have provided you with
one or more additional Host Bus Adapter (HBA) diskettes to support new
hardware.
