Announcement posted by SCO Group 09 May 2003

SCO Update Service provides early access to new UnixWare features and functionality through regular updates, replacing long wait between product releases
The SCOR Group (SCO)(Nasdaq: SCOX), a leading provider of business software solutions, today announced the availability of SCO Update Pack-1 for UnixWare 7.1.3, provided through the SCO Update Service.
The SCO Update Service is an innovative approach to deliver product maintenance and upgrades. Customers who subscribe to SCO Update Service get access to the latest enhancements the moment they are available, rather than having to wait for the normal 15 to 18 month release cycle.
SCO announced the service in December 2002, and Update Pack 1 is the first set of new features for UnixWare 7.1.3 made available using SCO Update Service. In the coming months, additional Upgrade Packs will be released for SCO UnixWare, SCO OpenServer and SCO Linux customers who subscribe to SCO Update Service.
"SCO Update Service is a convenient service that gives our customers the choice to keep their product current and install updates whenever it works best for them," said Kieran O'Shaughnessy, SCO's regional general manager for Australia and New Zealand. "In addition, SCO Update Service gives customers predictable budgeting as they plan their product installations and upgrades."
SCO Update Pack 1 contains new features and enhancements to UnixWare 7.1.3 that increase scalability, improve hardware diagnostics and
recovery support, and enhance printable documentation capabilities. The update pack also includes a robust set of product maintenance features.
Current UnixWare 7.1.3 customers who are licensed for SCO Update Service or for SCO's Software Enhancement Service (SES) for UnixWare may obtain the SCO Update Pack from the SCO Update download site, which may be accessed at: http://www.sco.com/support/update/download/
