You can conpy content of depot file to /var/spool/sw with swcopy:

Hi Ivan,
That worked..
Thanks..any need to create separate directory for depot. where the swreg comands comes. if i need to remotely access
this depot how to do..?

The content of .depot file is copied in /var/adm/sw and you don't need to create additional dirs.

For accessing software from other location:

view products:
swlist @server:/var/spool/sw

install:
swinstall @server:/var/spool/sw Product_NAME
