Windows

Install_SN {-i keyfile}

-i keyfileInstall the serial number from the specified key file.

-v Display the version number of Install_SN.

Availability/Restrictions

UNIX

Windows

Should only be used by the administrator.

Comments

When run without options, Install_SN prompts the user for a serial number and a customer id.
When run with the -i option, If the key file contains a serial number key, that key is installed, overwriting any existing serial number.

Serial numbers have an installation date and are valid for 3 days; installation is allowed only during that 3-day period.

Note: The preferred method of installing a serial number is:

UNIX: use the installkeys host utility.
Windows: use the Reality installation program. Depending on your version of Windows, this can be run from either Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features in the Windows control panel; refer to the Reality on Windows Installation Guide for details. Note, however, that this will not overwrite an existing serial number (except the evaluation serial number).
