Quick, practical notes for anyone digging up old NetWare 6 media (as and started to do): NetWare’s “strong encryption” is provided by the NICI architecture and shipped as separate crypto modules (XENGs). The crypto stack enforces policies (which algorithm/key sizes can be used) at the server level, so having the right strong‑crypto module installed and a server Key Material Object (KMO) is required before HTTPS/GroupWise encryption or other services will actually use stronger algorithms. (support.novell.com)

Do not assume any evaluation media is OK for production. NetWare-era evaluation licenses are time-limited (90 days is common for kits from that period) and will show as expired once they lapse; Novell’s guidance is to remove/replace expired eval licenses or purchase the proper paper/MLA license if you intend to continue running the server. If you see an “eval” license installed, treat it as temporary. (novell.com)

How to verify what you actually have: use Novell iManager (Licenses → Manage License Properties) or the Remote Manager Health Monitor to view installed license certificates; the server console’s version output also shows licensing info. Use the NetWare Usage / Metering tools to generate a user‑count report before you rely on a found license for production, especially ahead of audits. (novell.com)

If you need higher counts or “site”/MLA entitlements, contact an authorized reseller—installing an MLA license file or a license certificate does not by itself substitute for having a Master License Agreement contract. For strong‑crypto modules and downloads follow the official Novell/Micro Focus distribution channels rather than third‑party copies. Treat eval media as a test resource only and swap it for a licensed installation before exposing sensitive data. (novell.com)
