Novell NetWare can be installed in the following three ways:

•
With the original product CD-ROM
We will focus on the ServerGuide process.
4.1 ServerGuide Overview
ServerGuide is a CD-ROM library shipped with every IBM PC Server. It contains
software products, device drivers, utility programs, and diskette images. The
software products are encrypted and require activation keys which are used to
unlock
them. This provides a convenient method of distributing the software
products and at the same time allows for an integrated, time-saving approach to
product installation.
Each ServerGuide package contains a unique license number, which must be
specified on your software order with the software product(s) part number. The
ServerGuide license number and the software product(s) part number are used
by IBM to generate activation keys, which are given to you. The activation keys
can then be used to unlock the software product(s) for installation.
The following is the list of software products for which you will need an
activation key in order to install:
•
OS/2 Warp Full Pack

OS/2 for SMP
