Up to today afternoon UK time my support, sales and licensing contacts were not 
able to provide me the code...
Maybe Legato is willing to delay updates to current installation while allowing 
you to play on clean installs...
I could not find any Legato document with the required enabler...

Subject: [Networker] 7.3 update license code

I was planning on upgrading at least our server to 7.2.1 in the next week or 
two.  With 7.3 being released, I may jump right to that.

I downloaded the server packages and attempted to install it on my test system, 
but you're right.  I need a new update enabler to do that.  I found the section 
of the EMC/Legato site that lets me automatically request these, and put in my 
information, but I'm stuck at the final step - where I give them an update 
license code and email address.

What's the generic update license code for an update enabler that works with 
7.3?  Did anyone see that in any of the online documentation?  A search in the 
the release notes and install guides for "update license"
didn't return anything.

Or is the update enabler still unique to me and it's something I need to 
contact licensing or support about?
