I'm installing QNX4 on a machine with no floppy drive. I entered the license number
manually when prompted to do so. The problem now is : how do I run the license
utility?
On a machine with a floppy I would run:
license /etc/licenses /fd0 (this copies licenses to a floppy)
then, to copy licenses from floppy to machine:
license /fd0
any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can edit the /.licenses file and add licenses manually.

Hi Paul,
Is there a USB port available ?
If yes, then you can use Pendrive with QNX4 filesystem to transfer old-style licenses (# license source destination).
Regards,
Jacek

Hi,
Pendrive is a USB Stick.
You can also use USB HDD or even External USB Floppy Drive, everything what is supported by the Fsys.umass driver.

Jacek

Paul !
1.When you entered the license number correctly
and pushed button "Add/F5" - QNX4 automatically adds your license into file
/.licenses on installing partition and runs utility license
2.After that you can push "Continue" -> "Done" and "Start/F2" for installing

The only new-style licenses can be typed during installation.
A old-style licenses must be transfered via "license" command.
You can tranfer them directly onto floppy drive or to specific path/directory which can be located on different media
like USB Stick, USB HDD, etc. ...
>If I put in the license number from another machine, such as

To solve your problem I suggest to use the latest QNX4 Installation CD (November 2009).
Here are some necessary steps:
1) install QNX4 O/S only (use new-style license just to pass installation process completely),
2) meantime on the another machine transfer licenses onto floppy drive or USB Stick,...
Floppy method:
# license /etc/licenses/* /dev/fd0
USB Stick method is more complicated. The USB stack "io-usb" manager and "Fsys.umass" driver will be necessary. In short
you will need to create QNX4 partition, initialize filesystem on USB Stick and mount it. Finally transfer licenses to
mount directory (i.e. usb_stick):
# license /etc/licenses/* /usb_stick
3) after installation boot from HDD drive,
4) start io-usb and Fsys.umass driver,
4a) Floppy method
external USB floppy drive should be detected as /dev/fd0, so type
# license
or
# license /dev/fd0
4b) USB Stick method
mount your device (i.e. as /usb_stick) and type
# license /usb_stick/* /etc/licenses
5) refresh licenses
# license -r
check if a new licenses was added
# licinfo -a
6) now having license for qnx windows install this package from CD
# /cd/bin/phinstall
After everything don't forget to remove the /.license file with "temporary" license key.
Good luck,
Jacek
