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, you must enter
and load the VOLSHAD license.
If you have upgraded your operating system, register any new
OpenVMS or layered product licenses. Note that for Integrity server
systems, 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 information about registering licenses, refer to the following:
