Dear admins,
having sent my first summary, I received additional answers
to the original question, they came from
Peter Reynolds <PReynolds_at_synstar.com>
Volker Becker <becker_at_eurocontrol.de>
Robert Benites <benites_at_cs.unca.edu>
Oisin McGuinness <oisin_at_sbcm.com>
"Lavelle, Bryan" <Bryan.Lavelle_at_COMPAQ.com>
Nancy Davis <nedavis_at_betafo.gsfc.nasa.gov>
Bennet Fauber <bfauber_at_ucdavis.edu>
and (a second time) from
"Dr. Tom Blinn, 603-884-0646" <tpb_at_doctor.zk3.dec.com>
He answered the "PS" of my first summary:

The other answers differed, and I would like to comment some
of them just for the records and the overall learning:
1) > the OSF_BASE is the license PAK you would need to install first.
In the meaning "it is the most basic", probably correct,
but not true if the order of 'lmf register' is meant.
2) > go to a dump tape of your last working OS level and get a copy of

This corresponds to Dr. Tom Blinn's answer quoted above.
3) Hints to use 'lmf reset' or 'lmf load' - I had done that.
Well, thank you all again for helping me.
Regards, Joerg Bruehe
