NICI Licensing in NetWare 6 Upgrade
Articles and Tips: qna

Q.
I am upgrading a NetWare 5.0 server (which is currently at Support Pack 6a) to NetWare 6 with Support Pack 1 (using the Novell-supplied combined ISO image).This procedure worked fine in the test tree. We have a NetWare 6 server in the production tree and everything is happy: schema, timesync, eDirectory, and so on.
But when it comes to licensing NICI, I get the message "No encryption foundation keys found. This installation cannot proceed." Has anyone seen this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear NICI: To fix this, install NetWare 6 from the nonservice-packed ISO image (the original disk that came with the red box product). Installing from the red box disk proceeded like normal and I did not experience the NICI license error.
In addition to this, you can install the Support Pack 1 image, but you will need to upgrade NICI to v1.5.7. However, this may be more challenging than installing NetWare 6 from the red box CD and applying Support Pack 1.
