You need an upgrade license; OSR 5.0.7 licenses do not work for 6.0.0.

I had a fascinating note from a SCO email account recently, not
necessarily a sales person, who claimed you could upgrade free. But I
assume you do need the license to do so.

Now, if anyone wants to sell me some old SCO 5.0.6 licenses, I've got
a migration project that could use a spare server and development
license for legacy virtual environment reasons.

Hi,

When you upgrade from OpenServer 5.0.7 to OpenServer 6.0.0 you
will need to purchase an

OpenServer 5.0.7 to OpenServer 6.0.0 Upgrade license for the Base
Operating System.

You do not need to upgrade your OpenServer 5.0.7 User, CPU or
Development
System Licenses. You can just apply these to your OpenServer 6.0.0
server
system once MP3 is installed.

Hope this helps.

John

JP,

You are correct to say they need an upgrade license from 507 to 600
but I think the question was about "user licenses".

To clarify, OpenServer 5.0.7 user licenses can be applied to an
OpenServer 6.0.0
system. They do not require "upgrading".

Nico,

If this email was from me then I am flattered that you found it
so fascinating :-)

If you had read my email carefully I stated

"The upgrade from 5.0.6 to 6.0.0 does not require that you
upgrade your user licenses, you can use the 5.0.6 licenses with
6.0.0."

Thanks,

John
