Urgent! How can I get B3901BA(HP ANSI C bundle)?

I maintain several HP boxes in a development environment, some of them have installed ANSI C bundle. And today we want to install a test environment for Oracle applications on one of this boxes, but found that there is no ANSI C installed on that machine because of the compiling error. And we can't wait that long to get the codeword from HP licensing center. So, is that possible to get that depot file from somewhere else ?
Or if I copy those files under /opt/ansic from the box with ANSI C to that box, can I solve this(i know it's not good, but it's urgent, i will install it with codeword later)? If yes, what detail step can i follow ?
Thanks a lot !

You can get a codeword from a server that has it installed already. They are stored in /var/adm/sw/.codewords. You'll need the same CD that you originally installed the software with.

Ansi actually on any Application cd. You'll need a codeword entered to see it. Codewords can be entered manuall(prior post) or via swinstall -i interface.

No way around that codeword thing, just in case you're thinking of fishing. Your HP rep can get you a 30 day codeword in about 10 minutes during normal business hours.

Jim's way sounds good! However I have more than 15 copies, I hope I can find it tonight. If not, I will call HP tomorrow and get my codeword or get the 10 day one.

BTW, do you think I can just copy files from the box which has that bundle ?

Hi yyghp,

Yes Jims. suggestion is the correct way to go. It is preffered to install from the CD, B3901BA(HP ANSI C bundle), rather than copy the files.

When you request the codeword from HP, you should get it in 1 or 2 days time. They will send it to you through e-mail. Thats how I got it.
