          License PAK Registration
          Upon receiving your NetWorker distribution kit, you must register
          your NetWorker license PAKs. The number and type of license PAKs
          to register depend on your system's configuration. With respect
          to license PAKs, please note the following:

          o  NetWorker license PAKs must be registered prior to installing
             the NetWorker product in order to exercise NetWorker full
             functionality.

          o  It is essential that you understand the types of licenses and
             the NetWorker license PAK registration process before
             registering your NetWorker license PAKs. For detailed
             information on NetWorker licenses, see the Software Product
             Description. For information on license PAK registration, see

          Documentation
          The NetWorker Save and Restore for DIGITAL UNIX documentation is
          not available online on the DIGITAL UNIX Alpha Online Documentation 
          distribution. A PostScript file for each of the books in the 
          documentation set is available in the NetWorker Release Notes and 
          Documentation subset. After installing this subset (BRXRNOTES430), 
          you can print each of the books on a PostScript printer. Printed 
          documentation is also available and can be ordered using the 
          following part number: QA-2ALAA-GZ.4.3

          Not all of the manuals in the NetWorker Version 4.2C
          documentation set have been revised for NetWorker Version 4.3.
          Changes in the functionality of NetWorker did not require all of
          the manuals to be modified. The following documents were not
          updated for this release and will show Version 4.2C on the cover.
          Be assured, however, that you have the most current information:

          o  NetWorker Save and Restore for DIGITAL UNIX Administrator's
             Guide

          o  NetWorker Save and Restore for DIGITAL UNIX User's guide


          Setting Up Your NetWorker Environment
          NetWorker V4.3 requires functionality not available in the base
          operating system distributions of DIGITAL UNIX 4.0A and 4.0B.
          Therefore, before you install this product, you may need to
          install operating system patches. Refer to the Release Notes for
          information and instructions on acquiring and installing these
          patches.

          After you have successfully completed the installation of your
          NetWorker server and clients, you are ready to configure
          NetWorker for your environment. Chapter 5 of the NetWorker
          Addendum contains information on the NetWorker default settings
          as well as suggestions to consider as you customize NetWorker for
          your environment. Please read this information and then refer to
          the NetWorker Administrator's Guide for specific instructions on
          configuration tasks.
