ADVFS: no space left on device / advfs-utils license?

Hello Managers,

We have an ES40 running Tru64 4.0f with a RAID unit attached to it. We
have about 175 Gigs of space on the offending file domain. Even though
it is up to 61% capacity, I am getting the error message

:no space left on device

I suspect that there are too many metadata extents (like inodes),
because our data is an ENORMOUS amount of small files (possibly in the
millions). From the man, I can increase the number of metadata table
extent page with 'addvol -x' but I'm getting the following error:

ERROR: This application will not run successfully unless it is used
on the processor(s) on which it is licensed. The licensed processor(s)
is the one on which the product requiring the PROD_ADV PAK
will execute. An ADVFS-UTILITIES PAK must be registered in the License
Database and activated in the kernel cache before this application
will run. Refer to the installation guide for the product requiring
the ADVFS-UTILITIES PAK for license database PAK registration
instructions.

So my question is, am I right as to why I'm getting the "no space left
on device" error? Am I correct about the way to fix it is by using
'addvol -x'? And if it is, I guess I need a ADVFS-UTILITIES PAK
registered, right? Finally, is there any other way around this problem,
if I can't get a license right away?

Thanks in advance,
