SUMMARY: Tru64 5.1 - PAK Installation from the shell

A big THANK YOU to:

Fred van Kempen, Uwe Lienig and - once again - Johan Brusche.

----------- Original Question -------------------------

> one question regarding the PAK Installation in True64 5.1b.
> 
> I have the machine up, running and online and can access it using ssh 
> (Exceed/CDE does not work yet, perhaps because of the license problem).
> 
> Now I need to install the PAKs. I have the PAK CD with the Campus 
> Licenses, and under CDE this is a breeze ... but in a shell window?
> Am I supposed to start the lmf and enter all the details _manually_?
> I cant imagine that.
> 
> If anyone has a hint where to copy the files from the PAK CD to have 
> them activated, I would be grateful.

Suggestions received:

---------------- Fred van Kempen / Johan Brusche --------------
use the 'lmf register' command, thats what the CDE wrapper uses
as well.  I usually use

# lmf register < text_file.pak

to register whatever is in that text file.

-------------------- Uwe Lienig ------------------------------
In case many license files are to be activated, a shell script like this 
is handy:

# for i in * ; do lmf register - < $i ; done

It has to reside in the directory where the PAK files are located.

Finally the activation of the PAK files is done with

# lmf reset

--------------------------------------------------------------

This will solve the problem.

Thank you all!
