WARNINGS:

Several of the LICENSE commands require write permissions in the S-PLUS directory tree or administrative permissions for other reasons.

A process running with either user ID of 0 (root) or a group ID of 0 (wheel or root, generally) is considered to have "system administrator" privileges.

Several of the LICENSE commands are interfaces to the underlying \*E commands. Refer to the appropriate man pages for more details on available options, but keep in mind that they should be accessed via the Splus LICENSE command.
