Enables an existing license in the License Database so that you can load it with LICENSE LOAD. This command cancels the effect of LICENSE DISABLE, LICENSE COPY, and LICENSE ISSUE, which leave the license disabled. Newly registered licenses are enabled by default.
LICENSE ENABLE product-name[,...]
product-name[,...]
Name or names of products with a license to enable. You can enable only licenses that currently exist in the License Database. Enter the product name exactly as it appears on your PAK.
/ALL
Positional qualifier.Specifies that all licenses with the given product name should be enabled. 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 enable. 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. 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, HP) 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 ENABLE displays the name of each license that it enables.
/PRODUCER=string
Positional qualifier.Specifies the name of the company (for example, HP) 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.
Use LICENSE ENABLE to reestablish disabled licenses as available for loading with a LICENSE LOAD command.Enabled licenses can combine with other licenses when loaded for use. Do not enable a license that has expired, and be sure that all include, exclude, and reservation lists are up to date.
Use LICENSE LIST to inspect each license before you enable it. Use LICENSE MODIFY to change include, exclude, and reservation lists.
Because errors do not occur until enabled licenses are loaded, consider entering LICENSE LOAD immediately to load each newly enabled license on each appropriate node in an OpenVMS Cluster. If another combinable license for the same product is already loaded, first unload it with LICENSE UNLOAD. Use the DCL command SHOW LICENSE to see which licenses are currently active on your system. After you unload the other license, enter LICENSE LOAD to load the combination of the newly enabled license and the previously active license.
$ LICENSE ENABLE DECSET /PRODUCER=DEC
|
This command enables the license for DECset software. Because no database is specified, LMF uses the default database. Next, load the license with LICENSE LOAD.
Produces a replica of a Product Authorization Key (PAK) that is sent to a file or displayed on your terminal (the default). If the terms and conditions of your license contract allow it, you can then enter this PAK replica in the License Database of another processor. When you enter LICENSE ISSUE, LMF disables the license in the current License Database and marks the license DISABLED. To enable a license that has been marked ISSUED, enter LICENSE ENABLE.For License Databases connected to a network, consider using LICENSE MOVE.
LICENSE ISSUE product-name[,...]
product-name[,...]
Name or names of products with a license to be issued. You can issue only licenses that currently exist in the License Database. Enter the product name exactly as it appears on your PAK.
/ALL
Positional qualifier.Specifies that all licenses with the given product name should be issued. 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 issue. 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. The default file specification is defined by the logical name LMF$LICENSE, which points to SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB on an unmodified OpenVMS system. Use this optional qualifier only if you do not use the default License Database name and location./ISSUER=string
Positional qualifier.Specifies the name of the company (for example, HP) that issued the PAK for the product. Use this optional qualifier only if you need it to identify the license. This qualifier affects only the product name that immediately precedes it in the command string.
/LOG
/NOLOG (default)
Controls whether LICENSE ISSUE displays the name of each license that it issues./OUTPUT[=filespec]
Specifies the name of the file to which your PAK replica is written. If you do not specify the /OUTPUT qualifier, or if you do not supply a file specification with this qualifier, the output is sent to SYS$OUTPUT.If you specify a file name that already exists, this command creates a new version of the file. If you specify a complete file name and version that already exists, this command appends the PAK replica to the existing file.
/PROCEDURE
/NOPROCEDURE (default)
Specifies that the PAK replica is to be written in the form of a DCL command procedure. Use /PROCEDURE with the /OUTPUT qualifier to create a command procedure in a file. Then you can invoke the procedure to register the PAK replica in the License Database of another processor.If you do not specify the /OUTPUT qualifier with /PROCEDURE, or if you do not supply a file specification with the /OUTPUT qualifier, the procedure is sent to SYS$OUTPUT.
/PRODUCER=string
Positional qualifier.Specifies the name of the company (for example, HP) 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.
If your license contract allows it, use LICENSE ISSUE to move a license from a License Database on one processor (or OpenVMS Cluster environment) to a License Database on another processor. To move a license, enter LICENSE ISSUE, including enough PAK information to clearly identify the license. LICENSE ISSUE automatically disables the current license but does not immediately unload it; LMF does not terminate any active processes. To unload the license, enter a LICENSE UNLOAD command.After you issue the PAK replica, read the information, and register it on the new processor as you would any PAK, or, if you used the /PROCEDURE qualifier with the /OUTPUT qualifier, invoke the new DCL command procedure to register the license.
Note that the PAK replica includes only PAK information registered with a LICENSE REGISTER command. The replica does not include any changes made with other LICENSE commands.

$ LICENSE ISSUE /OUTPUT=SYS$MANAGER:FORTRAN.PAK -
_$ /PRODUCER=DEC FORTRAN
|
This command issues a PAK replica, which you can use to register the Fortran license on a new processor (or OpenVMS Cluster environment), and puts it into the file named FORTRAN.PAK. The next step is to print the file, read the information, and, using a LICENSE REGISTER command or VMSLICENSE.COM, enter the correct information in the License Database of the new processor. The Fortran license in the current License Database is marked ISSUED and is disabled.

$ LICENSE ISSUE /PRODUCER=DEC VOLSHAD
|
This command displays, at the current terminal, a PAK replica with the information from the VOLSHAD (Volume Shadowing) license. This display is reproduced below. The license registered in the current License Database is marked ISSUED and is disabled. You can register the data from this replica of a PAK in the License Database of another processor using either VMSLICENSE.COM or LICENSE REGISTER.

LICENSE LIST displays license records as they appear on disk in the License Database. LICENSE LIST /BRIEF does not produce a display with history records. You can control the displays as follows:For any LICENSE LIST display, use the arrow keys to scroll vertically or horizontally one line at a time. Press Ctrl/Z to exit from the display.
- After you enter LICENSE LIST with the /BRIEF qualifier, you can scroll through the display with the arrow keys on your keyboard.
- After you enter LICENSE LIST with the /FULL or /HISTORY qualifier, which displays the first LICENSE record, you can see the other records one at a time by pressing Return. You can also scroll through the license records using the Previous Screen key (or PF3) and the Next Screen key (or PF4).
Note that a LICENSE LIST command may display the status of a registered license as Active. This means the registered license is enabled for loading; it has not been disabled. It does not necessarily mean the license was loaded with a LICENSE LOAD command. The LICENSE LIST command displays only information on disk in the License Database; enter SHOW LICENSE to determine all active licenses on the current system.
You can also list licenses using the VMSLICENSE.COM command procedure.
