Re: [foxboro] AW51D, Sun Ultra 5 machine

An NVRAM is only good for 8-10 years, so if it's older it should be
replaced. Third party packages that use the machine ID for licensing can
be satisfied by a new NVRAM that has been programmed with the old
machine ID. If you get programmed NVRAM, you don't need to re-license
software that uses machine ID.

The NVRAM settings should be changed to match those of the old box, but
the host ID and mac address may not be particularly critical.  If the
box is an AW hosting AIM* you could get a new licence code to match the
new host ID from Foxboro, but the easiest solution is probably to just
move the NVRAM from the old D box to the new one.
