IIRC, that was only for the multi-user extensions, You could install a
1-2 user version w/ out typing in keys/serial numbers.

Also IIRC, if you do have the multi-user extensions (and keys),
remember, once you install the MU disk, it modifies the original so its
now keyed to the serial you used. 

Interactive Unix on a 486DX2/66 w/ 16Mb of RAM, those were the
days.......

PS: No, alas, I figure its _highly_ unlikely that I still have my pile
of floppies anywhere, I'm going to guess the 'basement monster' ate them
sometime in the last 10-15yrs.

PPS: I also think there were more disks to the collection, however, I'm
also thinking the version of Interactive I remember was 3.(something).
