52 Chapter 3 Installing Server Software and Finishing Basic Setup
Serial numbers generated for the server can be generated with watermarks so they can
be tracked to a specific company, group, or individual. If a serial number has
watermarking strings associated with it, it is necessary to supply the watermark
information when setting or validating the serial number.
To verify that a serial number is site-licensed:
$ sudo serversetup -isSiteLicensedSerialNumber
Updating Server Software
You can use the softwareupdate tool to check for and install software updates over the
Internet from Apple’s website.
To check for available updates:
$ sudo softwareupdate --list
The output is similar to the following:

automated command-line environment, execute the following command before

This creates an environment variable named command_line_install that automates
update responses.
