Fixes applied for the product
--------------------------+
Symantec ApplicationHA 6.0


Install/Uninstall instructions
------------------------------+
Download the patch zip file to a temporary location on your system.
The zip file contains the following two files:
*  ApplicationHA60_license_patch.bat
*  ApplicationHA60_license_patch.pl


To apply the patch
-------------------+
1. Extract the patch files from the zip file.
2. From the command prompt, navigate to the directory where you extracted the patch files.
3. Run the ApplicationHA60_license_patch.bat script.
   The script is designed to patch backend processes when you install ApplicationHA guest components from the vSphere client menu.
   When you run the script, the output reports the success of the patch application for each supported guest operating system.

Note: 
1. You can safely run the patch script multiple times on the ApplicationHA Console host.
2. Every time you use the CopyInstaller.bat file to copy the installer 
program for a Linux operating system to the ApplicationHA Console host, 
you must thereafter re-apply the patch on the ApplicationHA Console host.
