Use the SCOadmin Software Manager (in the System Administration
window on your desktop) to load and apply these patch supplements. For
information on using the Software Manager, see
Chapter
4, ``Installing and managing software components'' in the SCO OpenServer
Handbook.
NOTE: If you try to install Netscape Communicator before you
install the required patches, you will be notified that a patch is required.
However, the Software Manager (that is,
custom(ADM))
continues the first part of the installation of Netscape Communicator.
This might take a few minutes. Afterwards, the custom window that
lists the products installed on the system shows the product as partially
installed. Because only the product package files are loaded at this point,
you are not able to run Netscape Communicator. Install the required patches,
then reinstall Netscape Communicator to be able to run the product on your
system.

SCO Strong Encryption Supplement
-
Customers in the United States and Canada are allowed to use strong encryption
with the Netscape products. All the Netscape client and server products
use 40-bit encryption by default when using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
protocol to communicate secured information. Strong encryption allows the
use of 128-bit encryption between clients and servers.
The SCO Strong Encryption Supplement must be installed to enable strong
encryption for all Netscape products on this CD-ROM, even when installed
on an SCO Internet FastStart US/Domestic system. The installation of this
product prompts for a license. You can purchase a license for the SCO Strong
Encryption Supplement by calling 1-800-SCO-UNIX.
NOTE: The license can be used on all systems at your site.
Licensing
-
The Netscape Communicator 4.7 browser is free. No separate license is required
unless you use strong encryption.
