There are other means of enabling the licenses than using CLM. You can
also do that from the CLI, for example.

Also, if everything fails (e.g. you don't have access to the licens
files), you can activate a 30-day evaluation license, get things up
and running, and clean up afterwards.

No, I didn't. The data sheet says Solaris and Red Hat too.

PS: I'm not saying I love licenses, certainly not. I'm just saying
that at least some of the things that normally make them unbearable
have actually been handled.
