Check the download location of the currently installed release.

openpkg$ openpkg release

After a manual check for the latest version, grab the most current framework SRPM. It includes a promotional license.

openpkg$ openpkg curl -o openpkg-4.0b11-20081012.src.rpm \
'http://user:pass@download.openpkg.org/framework/testing/source/openpkg-4.0b11-20081012.src.rpm

Extract the cpio payload from the SRPM and "input visual test" for the files contained within.

openpkg$ openpkg rpm2cpio <openpkg-4.0b11-20081012.src.rpm | cpio -ivt | grep license-
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12401 Sep 23 08:11 license-BOOT.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12450 Jun  1 08:52 license-EVAL.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12384 Sep 23 08:11 license-EXAMPLE.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12347 Oct  2 07:52 license-PROMO.txt

Extract the cpio payload from the SRPM and "input visual" extract the required file.

openpkg$ openpkg rpm2cpio <openpkg-4.0b11-20081012.src.rpm | cpio -iv license-PROMO.txt
license-PROMO.txt

Update the license.

openpkg$ openpkg license update PROMO license-PROMO.txt
