The Question is: I've found out on my Alpha server 4100 the next messages and I don't know what's wrong. %LICENSE-E-NOAUTH, DEC OPENVMS-ALPHA use is not authorized on this node -LICENSE-F-EXCEEDED, attempted usage ecxeeds active license limits -LICENSE-I-SYSMGR, please see your system manager When I wrote in system account : $show license/brief, there was this information: Product: OPENVMS-ALPHA Producer: DEC Units: 75 Avail: 0 Activ: A Version: 0 Release: (none) Termination: (none) I've registered 2 licenses, OVMS Alpha Base DS20 LIC with 25 units and OVMS/A SMP Asvr1200/DS20 with 50 units. The Answer is :
General details on troubleshooting licensing problems are included in
the OpenVMS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Additionally, the
application of all current mandatory ECO kits and use of the current
Alpha firmware is also recommended.
The referenced pair of license Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) are
correct for an AlphaServer DS25 series system with two processors.
License requirements for OpenVMS and various layered products are
stored in the License Units Requirement Table (LURT). The following
command will display the LURT for the current system:
$ SHOW LICENSE/UNIT_REQUIREMENTS
The FAQ has a pointer to the main LURT table; to the licensing website.
On the AlphaServer DS25 series and on all other Alpha systems supporting
Dynamic System Recognition (DSR), the license unit requirements are
provided by the system's hardware and/or firmware. In the particular
case of the AlphaServer DS25 series, the very earliest shipments of the
series included a version of the SRM firmware (V6.3-3) that contained
incorrect data for the system licensing.
Accordingly, please apply the mandatory ECO kits for OpenVMS, and please
also upgrade the SRM console firmware to V6.3-5 or later. This should
correct the aforementioned licensing issue and should allow normal
OpenVMS operation with the supplied license PAKs.
