    Netware 4.2 seems to be broken; I'm trying to install it in VirtualBox, and it hangs after copying the installation files to the hard disk (this is the case whether I choose a simple or a custom installation).

    Looks like 4.2 works in VMware (Netware 4 is not "officially" supported, but it does install, albeit I don't have a license disk).

    I managed to get this version running in Qemu.

    Novel Netware 4.11 CD isn't recognised as an ISO9660 image.

    I managed to fix/convert using the iat tool on Ubuntu:

    $ iat netware_4.11.iso netware_4.11_fixed.iso

    Image offset start at 0

    Done

    The new image ceated is now recognised by Qemu.

    Not sure if relevant here but. Downloaded the Netware 4.11 iso from this site, extracted to installable cdrom. Under DOS 6.22 the install starts and then fails after approximately 60% through the file copy process to the \nwserver directory. Do I need to extract this image in some particular way? This is strictly through an MSDOS environment on an IBM 300 PL utilizing a Pentium 3 cpu. Thank you in advance.

    Repackaged the 4.11 ISO, give it another try now.

    There is a NetWare 4.2 100-user license ISO at https://archive.org/details/novell-net-ware-4.2.

    Is there a link for the 4.11 license disk?
  • SomeGuySomeGuy
    I'm not too familiar with these versions of Netware, is a license disk something that would have been provided alongside a CD-ROM? If there wasn't a floppy image in the 7z package, then I don't believe we ever had one.

    Were these disks copy protected?
  • 02k-guy02k-guy
    CDs were all the same. The separate diskette containing the single encrypted file "SERVER.MLS" controlled number of users for a given license.

    I feel bad because once upon a time I had squirrelled away literally thousands of legit seats of 3.12 and 4.1 - and they are all gone now. :(

    Ok, added a note about this in the product description.
