I've not installed IRIX from scratch before.
I recently purchased
some install media from ebay and the item description said "does not
include licenses". Is this boiler plate disclaimer, or am I still
needing something else to install the OS? Another item on ebay says
it *does* include licenses. Is there some sort of license key?
Does SGI have a hobbyist/deprecated-ware license available?
I'm not aware of any SGI hobbyist program, but I've also not installed
any version of IRIX that asked for a license key, either.
There is no hobbyist program but Sgi turns a blind eye to hobbyist's use of
Irix for non-commercial uses. There is no license key needed to install and
the m-stream updates for 6.5 to 6.5.23 are available for download at
sgi.com
with a free Supportfolio account.
