HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual
In an OpenVMS Cluster, if you own multiple license types for a single product, you are limited to viewing the usage information for the license type loaded on the node from which you are executing the SHOW LICENSE/USAGE command. To find out the usage of the other license type loaded on another node, issue the command on that node. You can also use the System Management (SYSMAN) utility to do this. In an OpenVMS Cluster, usage information is limited to the local license type. For example, VAX and Alpha availability licenses are considered by LMF to be different license types. If you are running both VAX and Alpha systems in a cluster, usage information for availability licenses is limited to the local system type. For example, if you have DEC C installed on all nodes in your OpenVMS Cluster, you can display DEC C license allocation on all the VAX nodes in the cluster from any VAX node with DEC C installed, but you cannot display the DEC C license allocation on the Alpha nodes. Usage information is not available for unlimited licenses (a license with 0 units). Clusterwide usage information is not available for personal use or NO_SHARE licenses. Refer to the HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual for more information on license types. /WARNING_INTERVAL=nNOWARNING_INTERVALDisplays a warning stating the number of licenses that will terminate in n days. The default is 30 days./WRAP/NOWRAP (default)Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond the width of the screen to the next line.The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.

This appendix provides the following examples of license-related management tasks using the LICENSE commands:
The following example provides a step-by-step procedure for registering a PAK for Volume Shadowing, which is a System Integrated Product (SIP). This example uses command procedure VMSLICENSE.COM and the following PAK information:
ISSUER: DEC AUTHORIZATION NUMBER: ALS-WM-45789-6666 PRODUCT NAME: VOLSHAD PRODUCER: DEC NUMBER OF UNITS: 400 VERSION: 7.3 PRODUCT RELEASE DATE: KEY TERMINATION DATE: 31-DEC-2001 AVAILABILITY TABLE CODE: E ACTIVITY TABLE CODE: KEY OPTIONS: MOD_UNITS PRODUCT TOKEN: HARDWARE I.D.: CHECKSUM: 2-EBID-GOOD-NIGH-OJJG |
Execute the VMSLICENSE.COM command procedure to register the Volume ShadowingPAK as follows:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE |
VMS License Management Utility Options: 1. REGISTER a Product Authorization Key 2. AMEND an existing Product Authorization Key 3. CANCEL an existing Product Authorization Key 4. LIST the Product Authorization Keys 5. MODIFY an existing Product Authorization Key 6. DISABLE an existing Product Authorization Key 7. DELETE an existing Product Authorization Key 8. COPY an existing Product Authorization Key 9. MOVE an existing Product Authorization Key 10. ENABLE an existing Product Authorization Key 11. SHOW the licenses loaded on this node 12. SHOW the unit requirements for this node 99. EXIT this procedure Type '?' at any prompt for a description of the information requested. Press Ctrl/Z at any prompt to return to the main menu. Enter one of the above choices [1] |
* Do you have your Product Authorization Key? [YES]: |
Use the REGISTER option to add a new license to a license database. A Product Authorization Key (PAK) provides the product name and information you need to register the license. You must enter all the information provided by your PAK exactly as it appears. Type '?' at any prompt for a description of the information requested. Press CTRL/Z at any prompt to return to the main menu. Issuer [DEC]: Authorization Number []: |
Product Name []: |
Producer [DEC]: |
Number of Units []: |
Version []: |
Key Termination Date []: |
Availability Table Code []: Activity Table Code []: |
Key Options []: Product Token []: Hardware-Id []: |
Checksum []: |
The checksum string always begins with a number. The other 16 characters are always alphabetic characters from A through P. |
Here is a list of the license information just entered: Issuer: DEC Authorization: ALS-WM-45789-6666 Producer: DEC Product Name: VOLSHAD Units: 400 Release Date: Version: 7.3 Termination Date: 31-DEC-2001 Availability: E Activity: Options: MOD_UNITS Token: Hardware ID: Checksum: 1-EBID-GOOD-NIGH-OJJG Is that correct? [YES]: |
If you enter any of the information incorrectly, you receive an error message, and the license is not registered. A checksum error can result when you enter incorrect information for other items on the PAK. If you get an error, carefully check all the data that you entered. |
Do you wish to make corrections? [YES]: |

This example shows the differences between the LICENSE LIST command, which displays license information stored on disk, and the SHOW LICENSE command, which displays license information stored in memory. The first command registers a Fortran license, as follows:
$ LICENSE REGISTER FORTRAN /ISSUER=DEC /AUTHORIZATION=USA-10 -_$ /PRODUCER=DEC /UNITS=400 /VERSION=6.0 -_$ /AVAILABILITY=F /CHECKSUM=1-HIDN-INDA-COMP-DAHH |
This command adds the license for the product Compaq Fortran to the default License Database. To see the information registered in the database, enter a LICENSE LIST command, as follows:
$ LICENSE LIST /FULL FORTRANUse Ctrl/Z to exit, PF3-PF4 for Previous-Next Screen and Arrow keys to Scroll. License Management Facility V1.2 License Database File: SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB Created on: 17-AUG-2000 Created by user: GRAHAM Created by LMF Version: V1.2 ----------------------------------------------------- Issuer: DEC Authorization: USA-10 Product Name: FORTRAN Producer: DEC Units: 400 Version: 6.0 Release Date: (none) PAK Termination Date: (none) Availability: F (Layered Products) Activity: 0 Options: Hardware ID: Revision Level: 1 Status: Active Command: REGISTER Modified by user: LESH Modified on: 21-AUG-2000 14:32:23.41 |
Notice that for status the LICENSE LIST command displays Active. This means the registered license is enabled for loading, that it has not been disabled or canceled. It does not necessarily mean the Fortran license was loaded with a LICENSE LOAD command. Because the LICENSE LIST command sees only the License Database on disk, you must enter a SHOW LICENSE command to refer to the License Database in memory to determine whether a license is active on the current system. For example:
$ SHOW LICENSE/FULL Active licenses on node BIODTL: CRYPTICALMENT Producer: DEC Units: 400 Version: 7.3 Release Date: (none) Termination Date: 31-DEC-2001 Availability: E (System Integrated Products) Activity: 0 MOD_UNITS VAX-VMS Producer: DEC Units: 400 Version: 6.0 Release Date: (none) Termination Date: (none) Availability: A (VMS Capacity) Activity: 0 MOD_UNITS NO_SHARE |
The SHOW LICENSE command in this example displays all the active licensed products on the current node named BIODTL; the Fortran license has not yet been loaded.
After you load the Fortran LICENSE, the SHOW LICENSE command displays the license. For example:
$ LICENSE LOAD FORTRANLICENSE-I-LOADED, DEC FORTRAN was successfully loaded with 400 units $ SHOW LICENSE /FULLActive licenses on node BIODTL: CRYPTICALMENT Producer: DEC Units: 400 Version: 7.3 Release Date: (none) Termination Date: 31-DEC-2001 Availability: E (System Integrated Products) Activity: 0 MOD_UNITS FORTRAN Producer: DEC Units: 400 Version: 6.0 Release Date: (none) Termination Date: (none) Availability: F (Layered Products) Activity: 0 VAX-VMS Producer: DEC Units: 400 Version: 6.0 Release Date: (none) Termination Date: (none) Availability: A (VMS Capacity) Activity: 0 MOD_UNITS NO_SHARE |
