OT: Buying new Server with SCO 5.07 installed - Where

[Brian K. White]

The licensing for the vmware version of osr5 is poisonous.

"SCO OpenServer 5.0.7V licenses are Subscription Licenses. This means 
that they are only valid for, and will expire at the end of the License 
period. At the end of the License period you will need to renew your 
license and register it if you want to continue to use the product."

You don't ever get to own the system. Just rent it. It is always 
counting down to stop working. You must perpetually renew the license or 
it will stop working on it's own. It's like a bomb hooked up to a 
treadmill. You stop pedaling, you die.

Migrating to linux, and all that that admittedly entails, is a far safer 
and wiser investment.

You can also run regular osr5 in a vm, just less efficiently, but for 
most typical uses of osr5 you will never know the difference.
