Pardon my ignorance, but I can't seem to get the UnlimUserLic patch
installed on our legacy HP-UX workstation.

Our system is an

HP-UX thishost B.10.20 A 9000/879 277045322 two-user license

and I would have thought that the following patch applies to our setup:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...ttT ypeId=110

Still, when I run

# swinstall -s /tmp/UnlimUserLic_10.20_700.depot

I get

"Currently, there are no products on this source which are compatible with
the target. Therefore, no products are shown."

Do we have the wrong kind of hardware for this patch?

I might mismatch something, but I think an 879 is a K-Class Server. So
it is an 800-Series instead of 700.

you should lookout for the 10.20_800-depot instead

Thanks, Florian - thought as much. The description on the HP Support Center
says "Unlimited User License for HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0 S700/S800", but it
looks like you're right about the mismatch. I have to dig further, or
perhaps give them a call...

Yes. Your box is an HP 9000 Series 800 Model 879. The patch you have
is for HP 9000 Series 700 boxes. Sorry.

While this goes deep into the dimm recesses of my memory, back in the
days of 10.20, the patch descriptions would sometimes list the "other
platform's" patch ID. IE an S800 patch would say what the S700 patch
would be and vice versa. Also, it was often but not always the case
that the patch ID's would differ by just one. So if the patch for one
was PHFO_12345 the patch for the other might be PHFO_12346 or
PHFO_12344.

While the HP-UX sources were remerged by HP-UX 10.20, there were still
separate kernels, hence separate kernel patches

As far as I recall by head, the unlimited user license is for workstations (aka
700 series) only.

You might try the swinstall option to force installation regardless of fittness
for the found stuff. See `man swinstall` for details.

btw: (again, digging into memory) the patch was only needed for terminal access
trough serial lines. Network based access (like telnet) was not counted for in
the 2-user license.

Hi CBee

> Network based access (like telnet) was not counted for in the 2-user license.
Not really true:
The local console is one license, the network is the other license. If you try to login from any other serial console (e.g. modem) and there is a existing login at the local console, the modem connection is prevented by the missing license.

Even if there is not an unlimited-users license for HP 9000/8xx
you probably have a 32-users license in one of the CD-ROMs that
come with HP-UX 10.20. I am running 10.20 (unlimited-users license)
on a workstation (series 700). I do not know if a 32-users license
comes with the HP servers media, but you can try... at most you will
waste five minutes.

Good luck,
Igor.
