<p>IIRC the FlexLM licenses are locked to a particular Host ID,
which of course can be changed provided that doesn't upset
anything else (such as another license!) At least this was the
case with the Sun tools we purchased with Solaris 2.4.</p>
<p>Though I also seem to recall hearing that at some time after the
tools stopped being sold, keys were published for them which would
work with any Host ID. Assuming this is true and not a false
memory, I have no idea which versions of what this was for!</p>

I have a Sun Workshop (the previous name for Sun Studio) CD from
circa 1993. However, the Sun compilers from that era were
licensed using FlexLM, so without a valid key would not work.<br>
<br>
As it happens, I might have a key as well, I need to check. If
so, that should do for all of us, as IIRC early-90's FlexLM
licensing doesn't do "phoning-home", the checks are all only
against the feature-encoded key.<br>
<br>
I'll get the version details of the CD, and post the info as a
reply here.<br>
<br>

Mike<br>

More as a curiosity at this point since I never got to play with it in the day.

The mad thing is I actually started on SunOS 4, but somehow switched to Solaris in the 90s and forgot how good the earlier versions were.
I'm now trying to track down some software for SunOS 4, starting with gcc so at least I can compile up some tools. IIRC it wasn't possible to compile gcc 2.95 for SunOS 4 for some reason, so I might try for 2.7 as I definitely remember using that at one time.
