HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard |

The Question is: I'm a little stuck. All licenses on a box we have here have all expired. I'm able to logon on the console but when I try to register openvms-alpha for example ( or any other license ), I get the following error: %vmslicense-e-lmfnoldb, cannot find license database. the lmf$license is pointing to the right area ( in this case sys$system:lmf$license.ldb, and I can do a dir on it and so on. Even If I try to point the logical to another area , ie: sys$manager, and create a new database, I get the same error as above. Any ideas? thanks The Answer is : With expired licenses and this error, the OpenVMS Wizard must assume that certain commands or operations have been invoked here, commands or operations that were not included in the problem report. Use direct license commands to manually register the licenses, following the description around emergency license registration in the OpenVMS FAQ. The specific command is LICENSE REGISTER, with details in the OpenVMS documentation set. If you are interested in the VMSLICENSE command procedure, enable procedure verification (SET VERIFY), invoke the procedure, and watch as its execution proceeds. This sould point you to the specific error. The default database is SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB, though it is possible to use the LMF$LICENSE logical name to redirect license operations to another license database.
