Hi,

How do I identify if my SCO system is an enterprise editioon or Workgroup edition?
 
perhaps you can see it using your licenses.
Run Scoadmin and browse to License Manager.
What differences is there between Enterprise and Workgroup Edition? Nostradamus

Problem
How can I tell the name and the version of SCO operating system that I am using?

Solution
To determine the name and version of SCO operating system you are running, take the following steps.
Run the command:


uname -s


If uname -s returns:

Xenix


then you are using an SCO XENIX Operating System. Use:

uname -r


to find out the release of SCO XENIX that you are using.
If uname -s returns:


<system_name>


where <system_name> is the name of your system, then you are using either an SCO UNIX System V or SCO Open Server Operating System. Use:

custom


to determine the name of the operating system. The name will be either:

SCO UNIX

SCO Open Server Enterprise System

SCO Open Server Desktop System

SCO Open Server Network System


If custom(ADM) reports the operating system name as SCO UNIX, then use:

uname -X | grep Rel


to determine the release of SCO UNIX System V that you are using.
If custom(ADM) reports the operating system name as SCO Open Server, then use:


uname -X | grep Rel


If the output of the above command is:

Release = 3.2v0 then you are using SCO Open Server Release 1.0

Release = 3.2v2.0 then you are using SCO Open Server Release 1.1

Release = 3.2v4.0 then you are using SCO Open Server Release 2.0

Release = 3.2v4.2 then you are using SCO Open Server Release 3.0


If uname -s returns SCO_SV then you are using an SCO OpenServer Release 5 Operating System. Use:

uname -X | grep Rel


to find out the release of SCO OpenServer Release 5 you are using. If the value returned by the above command is:

Release = 3.2v5.0.0 then you are running SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.0

Release = 3.2v5.0.2 then you are running SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.2

Release = 3.2v5.0.4 then you are running SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.4

Release = 3.2v5.0.5 then you are running SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.5


If uname -s returns:

UNIX_SV


then you are using an SCO UnixWare operating system. Use:

uname -v


to find the release of SCO UnixWare that you are using.
If uname -s returns:


UnixWare


then you are using a UnixWare 7 Operating System. Use:

uname -v


to find the release of UnixWare 7 that you are using.

Notes
Some of the operating systems mentioned above are no longer supported by SCO. For recommendations on upgrades of these operating systems to the latest release of SCO products, see:
