The Usage of OSL Software is subject to our End User License, which you have to accept. You will get a copy of the End User Licence together with your offer or enclosed to your SW-Delivery. Please read the End User Licence carefully before installing, copying or using OSL Software. By installing, copying or using the software you accept the End User Licence of OSL Gesellschaft für offene Systemlösungen automatically.
A temporary Test Licence can only be applied for evaluation or education purposes, according to the End User Licence mentioned above.
Therefore the following steps are necessary:
Please print a copy of the End User Licence. Then read the Terms of Use (German) of OSL Software carefully. Only if you accept these Terms of Use can you apply for a "Test Licence" (you have to document that in the step 3).
To apply for a licence key you need to get some informations of the host, which OSL software should run on. These informations can be easily obtained by using the getserial tool, which is also included in the standard installation. To apply a key before installing you can use getserial.
OSL Storage Cluster runs on different hardware-platforms with the OS Solaris or Linux. Therefore there is a getserial tool for each of these platforms.
Download getserial for your hardware platform:
getserial - Linux X86
getserial - Solaris 11 Sparc
getserial - Solaris 11 X86

Print the licence request form (German).
Read and fill out this form completely. Then send it to OSL (by fax/post).
We will handle your request as fast as possible.
To be able to calculate the licence units needed for a system you can download the OSL tool "lucalc". Find a small "how-to-use" guide for lucalc here.
lucalc for hardware platform (Solaris 10 and Linux):
lucalc - Linux X86
lucalc - Solaris 10 Sparc
lucalc - Solaris 10 X86
software archive for older Solaris releases (7/8/9)
Furthermore here you can get an overview on how many licence units you have to acquire for multicore-/multithreading systems. Note that OSL licenses only the effective performance of these systems.
