3.0  Installation Considerations

______________________________________________________________________
3.1  Microsoft Windows

To install or upgrade CA licensing, run silent.exe from a
command line, or double-click the icon on your desktop. CA
Licensing installs the native system language by default.

To force an installation to a drive other than the system
drive, run the following from a command line: 

 silent.exe <system drive letter>

For example:

 silent.exe E

This localized installation also installs the native system
language by default.

______________________________________________________________________
3.2  UNIX

To install or upgrade CA licensing, run ./install from a
command line.

Note: It may be necessary to source /etc/profile to set up
the user environment variables. 

______________________________________________________________________
3.3  UNIX-LINUX

To install or upgrade licensing, run the following from a
command prompt:

 ./install

This will invoke the license rpm.

To run the rpm directly, enter the following command:

 rpm -U --replacefiles --replacepkgs --prefix $CASHCOMP ca-lic*rpm

5.0  Known Issues

This section describes known issues, workarounds, and/or
solutions for this release of CA Licensing.

______________________________________________________________________
5.1  UNIX World Writeable Issue

There are several files in the licensing system requiring
update. In previous releases, they were "world writeable."
In this release, the permissions of these files will be
changed to "644."

The permissions of the following files will be changed:

 *   ca.olf

 *   lic98.log

 *   lic98dbg.log

 *   lic98.dat

A new process/program named lic98fds will be launched to
manage update access of files. This program will be a
"setuid" authority. Since the license system is "root,"
this program will be a "setuid root" program.

A new script named lic98SetOwner can be used to change the
owner of this program and the files it manages. The syntax
is as follows, where [new-owner] is optional:

 Lic98SetOwner [new-owner]

If you do not provide a [new-owner] on the command line,
the script will prompt you to provide one.
