           Digital[TM]is pleased to announce a functional update to
           the License Management Facility of the VMS[[TM]] Operating
           System. The release of LMF V1.1 complements Digital's user-
           based license architecture. Digital has announced Personal

           offering Concurrent Use licenses.

           o  New commands for frequently performed license management
              operations (LICENSE DELETE, LICENSE MOVE, LICENSE COPY)

           o  New RESERVE_UNITS option, to support Digital's Personal
              Use licenses.

           o  Support for reservation lists for all license sytles

           o  More consistent and intuitive command qualifiers

           o  Support for wildcards for operations on groups of licenses

           o  Improved reporting defaults

           For more information about these enhancements, see the VMS
           License Management Utility Manual.
