HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual
LICENSE MOVE
Moves one or more licenses from one License Database to another. When
you use LICENSE MOVE, LMF deletes those licenses from the source
License Database.
For License Databases not connected to a network, consider using the
LICENSE ISSUE /PROCEDURE command.
Format
LICENSE MOVE product-name[,...] output-database
Parameters
product-name[,...]
Name or names of products with a license to be moved to the output
License Database.
output-database
File specification of the License Database to which the license or
licenses should be moved. This database must have been previously
created using LICENSE CREATE.
If you enter a partial file specification (for example, specifying only
a directory), LMF$LICENSE is the default file name, and .LDB is the
default file type. If you do not specify a device or directory, the
current default device and directory are used.
Qualifiers
/ALL
Positional qualifier.
Specifies that all licenses with the given product name should be
moved. This qualifier affects only the product name that immediately
precedes it in the command string.
/AUTHORIZATION=string
Positional qualifier.
Specifies a string that helps identify the license you want to modify.
You must enter the authorization string exactly as it appears on your
PAK. Use this optional qualifier only if you need it to identify the
license. This qualifier affects only the product name that immediately
precedes it in the command string.
/DATABASE=filespec
Specifies the location of the License Database from which the license
or licenses should be moved. The default file specification is defined
by the logical name LMF$LICENSE, which points to
SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB on an unmodified OpenVMS system. Use
this optional qualifier only if you do not use the default License
Database name and location.
/ISSUER=string
Positional qualifier.
Specifies the name of the company (for example, DEC) that issued the
PAK for the product. Use this optional qualifier only if you need it to
identify the license. This qualifier affects only the product name that
immediately precedes it in the command string.
/LOG
/NOLOG (default)
Controls whether LICENSE MOVE displays the name of each license that it
moves.
/PRODUCER=string
Positional qualifier.
Specifies the name of the company (for example, DEC) that owns the
product for which you have a license. Use this optional qualifier only
if you need it to identify the license. This qualifier affects only the
product name that immediately precedes it in the command string.
Description
If your license contract allows it, use LICENSE MOVE to move a license
from one License Database to another. To move a license, enter LICENSE
MOVE, including enough PAK information to clearly identify the license.
LICENSE MOVE automatically deletes the license from the source License
Database.
Note that the moved license includes only the general PAK information
normally provided by LICENSE REGISTER. LICENSE MOVE does not transfer
any user-supplied data such as reservation lists, modified termination
dates, modified units, include or exclude node lists, or comments.
Examples
| #1 |
$ LICENSE MOVE FORTRAN ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB
|
This command moves the Fortran license in the default License Database
to the ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB output License Database. This command
fails if the default database contains more than one Fortran license.
| #2 |
$ LICENSE MOVE FORTRAN /DATABASE=LMFDATA:LMF$LICENSE.LDB -
_$ ALT_SYS:LMF$LICENSE.LDB
|
This command moves the Fortran license in the source License Database,
LMFDATA:LMF$LICENSE.LDB, to the destination License Database,
ALT_SYS:LMF$LICENSE.LDB. This command fails if the source License
Database contains more than one Fortran license.
| #3 |
$ LICENSE MOVE FORTRAN /ALL ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB
|
This command moves all Fortran licenses in the default License Database
to the output License Database, ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB.
| #4 |
$ LICENSE MOVE * ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB
|
This command merges two databases by moving all licenses in the default
License Database to the output License Database,
ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB.
LICENSE REGISTER
Adds a new license to the License Database. A Product Authorization Key
(PAK) provides the product name and information you need to register
the license. You must enter all information provided by your PAK
exactly as it appears.
You can also register a new product license with the command procedure
SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM, which provides a prompt-based interface to
the LICENSE REGISTER command.
Format
LICENSE REGISTER product-name
Parameter
product-name
Name of the product with a license to register. You can register only
licenses that do not currently exist in the License Database. You can
register multiple licenses for the same product when they have
different authorization numbers. Enter the product name exactly as it
appears on your PAK.
You cannot use wildcard characters for the product-name
parameter with this command.
Qualifiers
/ACTIVITY=code | CONSTANT=integer
Specifies a license unit code that corresponds to a License Unit
Requirement Table (LURT) or to a constant value. If your PAK supplies
an activity code, you must enter the code exactly as it appears. The
current codes are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. If your PAK specifies
the keyword CONSTANT, then you must also specify the integer value.
This denotes a constant requirement for all System Marketing Models
(SMMs) equal to the value given. If your PAK specifies the decimal
value 0, then the license has no requirement for that license type. PAK
issuers determine the value for this element.
/AUTHORIZATION=string
Specifies a string that helps identify the license you want to
register. You must enter the authorization string exactly as it appears
on your PAK.
/AVAILABILITY= code | CONSTANT=integer
Specifies a license unit code that corresponds to a License Unit
Requirement Table (LURT) or to a constant value. If your PAK supplies
an availability code, you must enter the code exactly as it appears.
The current codes are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. If your PAK
specifies the keyword CONSTANT, then you must also specify the integer
value from your PAK. PAK issuers determine the value for this element.
/CHECKSUM=string
Specifies a 17-character verification string created by the PAK issuer
for each PAK. The checksum string is presented in the format
n-cccc-cccc-cccc-cccc, where n is an integer and
c is an alphabetic character from A through P. A PAK presents
the checksum string with hyphen (-) characters for readability. Because
LMF does not count hyphens for authorization, you do not have to enter
them. Otherwise, you must enter the checksum string exactly as it
appears on your PAK.
/DATABASE=filespec
Specifies the location of the License Database. The default file
specification is defined by the logical name LMF$LICENSE, which points
to SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB in an unmodified OpenVMS system.
Use this optional qualifier only if you do not use the default database.
/HARDWARE_ID=string
Specifies the identification number of the hardware on which the
product is licensed. If your PAK supplies a hardware identification
number, you must enter the information exactly as it appears. On
Integrity server systems, the HARDWARE_ID string is in the format
SOCKETS=n.
/ISSUER=string
Specifies the name of the company (for example, DEC) that issued the
PAK for the product. Note that the PAK issuer is often the same as the
producer. You must enter the information exactly as it appears on your
PAK.
/OPTIONS=[(keyword[,...])]
Specifies LICENSE REGISTER options. If your PAK supplies any license
options, you must enter this information exactly as it appears.
Table A-1 describes the available keywords.
Table A-1 LICENSE REGISTER /OPTIONS Keywords
| Keyword |
Meaning |
|
ALPHA

and OpenVMS Alpha systems.
|
If you enter more than one keyword, separate them with commas, and
enclose the list in parentheses. You can abbreviate each option to the
minimum number of characters needed to uniquely identify it.
/PRODUCER=string
Specifies the name of the company (for example, HP) that owns the
product for which you have a license. You must enter the information
exactly as it appears on your PAK.
/RELEASE_DATE=date
Specifies a product release date such that the license authorizes use
of all product versions released on or before the date. If your PAK
supplies a product release date, you must enter the information exactly
as it appears. The date must be presented in the standard OpenVMS
format: dd-mmm-yyyy.
/TERMINATION_DATE=date
Specifies the date on which the product license terminates. If your PAK
supplies a license termination date, you must enter it exactly as it
appears. The date must be presented in the standard OpenVMS format:
dd-mmm-yyyy.
/TOKEN=string
Specifies a string of information associated with some products. This
option can enable or disable certain product features. See your product
documentation for details. If your PAK provides token information, you
must enter it exactly as it appears.
/UNITS=number
Specifies the number of license units for your license. You must enter
the number exactly as it appears on your PAK even if your PAK specifies
the MOD_UNITS option.
/VERSION=nn.nn
Limits the version number of the product for which you have a license.
Use the format integer.integer. If your PAK supplies version
information, you must enter it exactly as it appears.
Description
LICENSE REGISTER is the primary LICENSE command. Before you enter a
LICENSE REGISTER command, you need a PAK that supplies the information
required to enter a license in the License Database.
You can register additional licenses for products that already exist in
the License Database. If you register another combinable license in the
License Database, LMF combines the license units during a LICENSE LOAD
or LICENSE START command. This allows more product availability or
activity for the same product.
The checksum number supplied with your PAK is calculated from the other
information supplied with the PAK. Thus, you must enter each qualifier
necessary to supply information from your particular PAK. If you enter
LICENSE REGISTER without a required qualifier, LMF returns a checksum
error.
Examples
| #1 |
$ LICENSE REGISTER FORTRAN /ISSUER=DEC /AUTHORIZATION=USA-10 -
_$ /PRODUCER=DEC /UNITS=400 /VERSION=5.4 -
_$ /AVAILABILITY=F /CHECKSUM=1-HIDN-INDA-COMP-DAHH
|
This command adds the license for the product Fortran to the default
License Database. Fortran becomes licensed using the availability
formula with 400 license units available.
| #2 |
$ LICENSE REGISTER DVNETRTG /ISSUER=DEC /AUTHORIZATION=USA-15 -
_$ /PRODUCER=DEC /UNITS=1000 /VERSION=4.0 -
_$ /AVAILABILITY=E/CHECKSUM=1-COOD-AGON-EFIC-HING
|
This command adds the license for the product DVNETRTG (DECnet for
OpenVMS Routing) to the default License Database. In the example,
DVNETRTG is licensed using the availability formula with 1000 license
units.
LICENSE START
This command loads all licenses that are registered and enabled in the
License Database into memory. On OpenVMS Alpha and VAX systems, it sets
up the License Unit Requirement Table (LURT) for your system. On
OpenVMS Integrity server systems, it loads the operating environment
table and all per core licenses into memory. Because the OpenVMS
operating system issues a LICENSE START command during system startup,
you should need this command only if system startup fails.
To use this command, you need CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and SYSPRV privileges on
OpenVMS Alpha systems. In addition to those three, you also need SYSLCK
privilege on OpenVMS Integrity server systems.
To load the licenses in the License Database of a system with LMF
already started, use LICENSE LOAD.
Format
LICENSE START
Parameters
None.
Qualifiers
/DATABASE=filespec
Specifies the location of the License Database. The default file
specification is defined by the logical name LMF$LICENSE, which points
to SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB on an unmodified OpenVMS system.
Use this optional qualifier only if you do not use the default database.
/LOG (default)
/NOLOG
Controls whether LICENSE START displays a message to acknowledge the
loading of each product license.
Example
On OpenVMS Alpha and VAX systems, this command sets up the LURT for
your system and loads all the licenses that are registered and enabled
in the License Database. On OpenVMS Integrity server systems, this
command loads the operating environment table and all PCL licenses into
memory.
LICENSE UNLOAD
Unloads a license, making the product unavailable from the current
node. The product license or licenses must be registered in the License
Database and must have been previously loaded with an interactive or
automatic LICENSE LOAD command. Running processes are allowed to
continue to completion.
To use this command, you need CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and SYSPRV privileges.
Format
LICENSE UNLOAD product-name[,...]
Parameter
product-name[,...]
Name of the product to be unloaded. You can unload only licenses that
have been loaded. Enter each product name exactly as it appears on its
Product Authorization Key (PAK). You cannot use wildcard characters for
product-name.
Qualifiers
/LOG
/NOLOG (default)
Controls whether LICENSE UNLOAD lists the name of each unloaded license.
/PRODUCER=string
Positional qualifier.
Specifies the name of the company (for example, DEC) that owns the
product for which you have a license. The default string for this
qualifier on Alpha and VAX is DEC. On Integrity servers, the
default string is HP. If DEC or HP is not the producer of the product,
you must use this qualifier to identify the product. This qualifier
affects only the product name that immediately precedes it in the
command string. Wildcard characters are not allowed.
Description
LICENSE UNLOAD affects all units for a single product even if the
loaded units are combined from multiple licenses. In such a case, you
cannot unload the units from a single license. You must unload all the
units.
You are not required to unload a loaded license before modifying data
in the License Database. To maximize product availability, modify
licenses in the License Database first, and then load the changes by
entering a LICENSE UNLOAD command followed by a LICENSE LOAD command.
Examples
| #1 |
$ LICENSE UNLOAD /PRODUCER=DEC FORTRAN
|
This command unloads the HP Fortran license on the node from which it
is entered.
| #2 |
$ LICENSE UNLOAD PASCAL,FORTRAN
|
This command unloads the HP Pascal and HP Fortran licenses on the node
from which it is entered.
SHOW LICENSE
Displays software product licenses active on the current node and lists
the names attached to a license (known as the RESERVE list). The SHOW
LICENSE command displays the license database information currently in
your system's memory. Use the License Management utility command,
LICENSE LIST, when you want to view the license database information
that is on disk.
Format
SHOW LICENSE [product-name [,...]]
Parameter
product-name
Specifies the name or names of activated software product licenses to
display. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters
are allowed. If you do not specify a product name, information is
displayed about all active product name licenses. The
product-name parameter is incompatible with the
/UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier.
Description
The DCL command SHOW LICENSE displays software product licenses active
on the current node. An active license is one that has been registered
in the LICENSE database and has been loaded into system
memory. To register and activate software product licenses, use the
License Management utility (LICENSE) or VMSLICENSE.COM. Some licenses
are registered automatically during product installation.
To display licenses registered in the LICENSE database, use the LICENSE
LIST command.
Qualifiers
/BEFORE
Use with /TERMINATION_DATE and /RELEASE_DATE qualifiers. Selects only
those licenses whose times are before the time specified with the other
qualifiers.
The /BEFORE qualifier cannot be used with the /SINCE qualifier.
/BRIEF (default)
Displays a summary of information about the specified active product
licenses. Use the /FULL qualifier to obtain a complete product license
listing.
/CHARGE_TABLE
Synonym for the /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier.
/CLUSTER
Use with the /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier to display the license unit
requirements for every node in an OpenVMS Cluster.
/EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a search
string that must match the search string exactly and must be enclosed
with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH qualifier,
exact search mode is enabled when you set the search string with the
Find (E1) key.
/FULL
Displays a summary of information about the specified active product
licenses, including Product Authorization Key (PAK) options and the
reserve list (if any). On Integrity server systems, lists the licenses
for OEs currently active on the system.
/HIERARCHY - Integrity servers only
Displays the hierarchy of licenses for operating environments active on
the current node.
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the type of
highlighting you want when a search string is found. When a string is
found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use the following
keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD is the default
highlighting.
/OE[=OE name] - Integrity servers only
When an OE name is specified, displays the contents the of named
operating environment. Currently, valid OE names are BOE and HA-OE.
When no OE name is specified, displays the operating environment
currently active on the node.
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the SHOW LICENSE command is sent. By
default, the output of the SHOW LICENSE command is sent to the current
SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output to a
file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file specification.
The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are not
allowed in the file specification. If you enter a partial file
specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the
default file name and .LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of license information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
|
CLEAR_SCREEN
|
Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
|
|
SCROLL
|
Displays information one line at a time.
|
|
SAVE[=
n]
|
Enables screen navigation of information, where
n is the number of pages to store.
|
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens of
information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens of up to
255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier, you
can use the following keys to navigate through the information:
| Key Sequence |
Description |
|
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B
|
Scroll up one line.
|
|

|
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
/PRODUCER=producer-name
Displays software product licenses active on the current node and
supplied by the specified producer. The asterisk (*) and the percent
sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed for the producer-name
parameter. You cannot use the /PRODUCER qualifier with the
/UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier.
For HP Products
Only
On OpenVMS VAX and Alpha systems, the producer is shown as DEC. On
OpenVMS Integrity server systems, the producer is shown as HP.
|
/RELEASE_DATE=[date_time]
Allows listing licenses using release dates as selection criteria.
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you want to
find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks are required
for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the Find
key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation marks are
not required for a dynamic search.
/SINCE(default)
Use with the /TERMINATION_DATE and /RELEASE_DATE qualifiers. Selects
only those licenses whose times are on or after the time specified with
the other qualifiers.
The /SINCE qualifier cannot be used with the /BEFORE qualifier.
/TERMINATION_DATE=date_time
Allows listing licenses using termination dates as selection criteria.
/UNIT_REQUIREMENTS
On Alpha and VAX systems, displays information in the License Unit
Requirement Table (LURT). On Integrity server systems, displays
information about the type of system, the number of CPUs active, and
the number of sockets. The /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier is incompatible
with the product-name parameter and with the /BRIEF and
/PRODUCER qualifiers.
/USAGE
Tells you how many license units are loaded, how many are currently
allocated, and how many are currently available, as well as the license
type for each product on the system. Use with the /FULL qualifier to
display complete information---including the PID, process name, node,
or user name---for each instance of use of the product. You need group
privilege to see the list of users in your group who have allocated
license units; you need world privilege to see the list of users in all
groups.
