There's not a manual page for it on my system (V4.2), but I think
you use /etc/install_upgrade.  If I remember correctly the upgrade
is a tar(5) archive with one file on it; /upgrade.  After the days
of getting a different machdep.o and before LMF, this file would be
read by something called from /etc/rc when the system went multi-user
and it would perform whatever magic was required to put the user
limit in place.

With LMF I believe some part of LMF looks for the file and fakes up
a LMF database entry based on the upgrade file.
