Installation ISOs for SCO OpenServer are difficult to find online, so I’ve made the ones I have available for download below.
If you’re still running a SCO system and need help with:
Core System Support
- Installation or troubleshooting
- Backup and migration
- Virtualizing legacy hardware
Data & Output Management
- Converting reports to PDF or Excel
- Automating exports and printing workflows
- Integrating with Microsoft 365, Power Automate, or SharePoint

I’ve supported SCO systems for 20+ years and can help.
SCO Openserver 5.0.0 Installation ISO (Not bootable)
The N0 and N1 disks are in the CD, to install in a virtual machine I also required the updated WD Boot Time Load Driver then I used the boot string:
restart link="wd" Sdsk=wd(0,0,0) Srom=wd(1,0,0)
SCO Openserver 5.0.4 Installation ISO (Not Bootable)
SCO Openserver 5.0.5 Installation ISO (Bootable)
SCO Openserver 5.0.6 Installation ISO (Bootable)
SCO Openserver 5.0.7 Installation ISO (Bootable)
This ISO is available from the Xinuos website but it can be quite slow.

I’ve had a number of requests for emergency boot and root floppy images. The boot and root images are generated from within the operating system and contain the required drivers to access the hard drive controllers of that system. Here are my boot and root images, which I use on VMWare with the lsil controller:

What do you do for licensing and keys for SCO not that they are out of business?
Paulie says
They are not out of business, you can still buy new licenses if required. I am a re-seller.
