SUMMARY: Problem with CSLG OSF-USR license?

The problem was due to the presence of two licences. I had not tried
removing the IMPLICIT license as I was a little nervous this would
stuff things up and was sure I had had multiple OSF-USR licences
installed before..

However, big thanks to Ian Mortimer for putting me on the right track.

The original request:

As a University we get CSLG license paks - from Australia I think.

I've just been updating them when I noticed:

OSF-USR active 4 1
OSF-USR active, multiple 4 1

One of these is the UNIX-SERVER-IMPLICIT-USER license, and the other
(ASP-SN-2000JAN27-4639) is supposed to be unlimited user. I _thought_ it
said 'unlimited' in the 'Users: Total' column of lmf's list command before
I added the new license, but I'm not sure.

I deleted the previous OSF-USR license and did an 'lmf reset' before and
after registering the new PAK. I also tried removing the new license and
re-registering it.

Classes have just started, so this is going to be a big problem if only 4
users can get access :-(

And from Ian <ian_at_physics.uq.edu.au>:

Do:

   lmf list full for OSF-USR

This will show you the full details for the two licenses.
You'll need the Authorization Number of the one you want
to remove.

To remove the one you don't want do:

   lmf issue /tmp/OSF-USR.txt OSF-USR DEC authorization_number

This will save the removed license in the file in case you've
made a mistake.

Or: if you're confident you aren't going to mistakenly delete the
wrong one you could do:

   lmf delete OSF-USR DEC authorization_number

Then do:

   lmf reset
