Tru64 license issue

[Prasanth V Aravind]

No .. this is not a new system... that is what i wonder ..!!!

where base license details gone ?? how it was working previously ??

also there is very less chance i can get the paper license from store.

But i got a 9 digit license code which wrote on installation cd .. is it enough ??

OR

am i need check-sum number to register license ??

No. we don't have backup of /var...

One question;- if i copy /var/adm/lmf/ldb from another server , is it going to work ??

Also i don't have any other server which having os version same of this server.

Pls suggest

Hi Prasanth,

Something that I've seen happen recently with an AlphaServer 1200, is that for some reason the machine changed personality - we think due to a system board fault. Consequently Tru64 thought it was running on an Digital Server 6000 which required more OSF-BASE units than were loaded.

That said, from your description it does sound as though the licenses have been removed from the lmf database.

In order to install a license you do need to have the checksum and all of the details off the PAK.

Copying a license from another machine might work, but bear in mind that the OSF-BASE license requirements vary between different machine types.

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the replay. currently "lmf list" shows only OSF-USR.

# lmf list
Product Status Users: Total Active

OSF-USR active 4 0
#

pls suggest what are other licenses i have to install on this box, to resolve this issue.

Thanks
Prasanth

Hi,

As a minimum you'll need OSF-BASE with enough license units for your machine, and OSF-USR.

Details of the number of units required can be found here:

If you go into lmf, does the history command give you any hints as to what's happened to the licenses ?

# lmf
lmf> history short

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Prashanth,

The current problem is due to non existance of the OSF-BASE license.
This you would need as a minimum.
You may then have to also get other licenses that are currently missing
from your LMF database.
