If you did not register your OpenVMS licenses during the installation,
you must do so before you can use the OpenVMS operating system.
You must also register the licenses for OpenVMS layered products. If
your operating system came preinstalled, you must register licenses.
The licenses are not preinstalled. If you plan to form a volume
shadow set for your newly installed system disk, the VOLSHAD license
must be entered and loaded.
If you have upgraded your operating system, register any new
OpenVMS or layered product licenses. Note that licensing schemes
differ between Alpha and Integrity server systems. With the latter,
a single OE license grants the right to use all the components bundled
in the purchased OE. Each OE is offered with per-processor licenses
(PPL). For OpenVMS I64 systems, no update licenses are available.
For information about registering licenses, refer to the following:
The HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual
For OpenVMS I64 systems,
refer to the HP OpenVMS Version 8.2 Release Notes and
the HP Operating Environments for OpenVMS Industry Standard
64 for Integrity Servers Software Product Description
(SPD
82.34.xx).
To register licenses, use
the OpenVMS License utility as follows:
Invoke
the OpenVMS License utility by entering the following command at
the OpenVMS system prompt. (You can also use the LICENSE REGISTER
