Thanks for all the help--I got several answers all basically similar to Alan
Davis' below. The original license for the system had 12 units on it. We
also had the two 100 unit licenses we got when we added two more CPUs. I
don't remember ever modifying the number of units on the original, but
perhaps I did as part of the upgrade. (I didn't know/remember that mod_units
meant that _I_ could modify the number of units). Those CPUs went in 3 years
ago.
Setting the number to 0 as Alan and a couple of others suggested didn't
work. Nor did 100. Of course I have no clue what magic number it's looking
for so I tried 1000 and that did work. I'll try to find the document
referenced below that gives the number of units needed.
