How can we make a copy of the licences installed on a QNX machine to a floppy for security reasons? Or said differently, can we copy the license files from all our QNX licenses to a single floppy?
|
| Solution |
There are 2 styles of QNX4 licenses:
Pre QNX 4.23A, licenses were stored in /etc/licenses.
Post 4.23A, licenses are stored in /.licenses
The 'cp' command cannot be used with the older style of licenses as they wil get corrupted. The 'license' utility must be used. However, the 'cp' utility may be used for the new style of licenses.
To copy old style of licenses do the following:
x09license /etc/licenses /fd
where the floppy drive is mounted as /fd
To copy new style licenses do the following:
x09cp /.licenses /fd/.licenses
