attempted usage exceeds active licence limits
When users attempt to log onto one node in the cluster they receive error messge :
attempted usage exceeds active licence limits.
How do I know what license is being exceeded when I do "licence list".
This happens intermittently.
Thanks for your advice

$ SHOW LICENSE/USAGE
View of loaded licenses from node xxxxxx 26-JAN-2010 11:54:58.55
------- Product ID -------- ---- Unit usage information ----
Product Producer Loaded Allocated Available
DFG DEC 100 100 0
NET-APP-SUP-400 DEC 1050 1050 0
OPENVMS-ALPHA DEC 25 25 0
OPENVMS-ALPHA-ADL DEC 1600 100 1500
You may find a License OPENVMS-ALPHA-ADL. In Row LOADED you can see the available Units, in Row Allocated you can see how many Units are used already and in Row Available you can see the Units still available
Hope that helps
Regards
Geni

Re: attempted usage exceeds active licence limits
Knowing nothing about your configuration...
But probably you don't have enough OPENVMS-ALPHA-USER licenses (or a variant thereof).
With a SHOW LICENSE OPENVMS-ALPHA-USER command you can see how many "units" you have( e.g. 1000 ), the "activ" field indicates how many "points' you need per user. So, the 11th user (given the example) cannot login.
Not that other types of license might augment the number of users allowed.

Re: attempted usage exceeds active licence limits
User licenses can variously be OPENVMS-ALPHA-USER, OPENVMS-ALPHA-ADL (both assuming Alpha) or VMS-USER or ADL-USER for VAX. Integrity licenses are usually for unlimited users so wouldn't have the issue.

Re: attempted usage exceeds active licence limits
$ REPLY/ENABLE=LICENSE
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC LMF$DISPLAY_OPCOM_MESSAGE TRUE
caveats...
1) You will get false alarms for some products, so don't worry about them unless you have users complaining. For that reason it's probably advisable to have this disabled unless you're actively chasing a licensing issue.
2) For some inexplicable reason, there are no messages for operating system licenses (which is the most likely candidate in this case... I suppose if you get a user reporting the error but don't see an OPCOM message you can assume it's an OS PAK?)
