| Thank you for forwarding this to me, but no thanks. I have Brian squelched
| permanently, and it will stay that way forever.  His suggestion above would
| have been the first thing I would have done (seeing as how I learned about
| this file about 6 years ago at a Kernel Internals course I took at Santa
| Cruz.)  My question as loosely stated as it was, missed the real point. I
| was not asking about how to find the license info on my machine... but if
| there was a web service from SCO that would show me all my licenses and info
| on-line... much the way FP Tech shows you the licenses you own. I stated it
| explicitly as moving a machine license from here to there, however, I am
| really moving a license that I have in a text file to a new machine. The
| machine it used to be on is already decommissioned.

You can readily list your registered licences on SCO's web site (but not
their respective codes).

| But, I should thank you for forwarding me Brian's message. I know you were
| just trying to help me.  However, in future, please don't.   I have him
| /dev/nulled for good reasons. He is one of only two people I have ever found
| it necessary to squelch, and the other left the list a couple years ago. I

Huh?  You once cut me off from the fProom, and I've not left this list.
