SUMMARY
SourceSafe for UNIX version 3.02 requires a Um.Dat file with a valid serial number. This article explains how to update the Um.dat file to use with SourceSafe for UNIX.



MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: SourceSafe for UNIX version 3.02 and Unix are manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.

SourceSafe for UNIX version 3.02 requires a Um.dat file containing a valid serial number. This number is entered by the installation script during the installation of SourceSafe for Unix. SourceSafe for Windows version 3.04 does not require a serial number but can use a Um.dat file that contains it. You can use the following step-by-step procedure to add SourceSafe 3.02 for UNIX to an existing SourceSafe for Windows 3.04 site:

Step-by-Step Example
 Back up the existing database. Update all existing SourceSafe file names and directory names to lowercase names. Install SourceSafe version 3.02 for UNIX. Set the SSDIR and PATH variables. Run the following commands:

%serializ data -s123-654-789

%ddconv date

 Reset the project and users rights if they are different from the default settings.</ol>
