Re: Changing license
Pretty old. You might try a couple of
commands to give us non-psychics some
information:
SHOW LICENSE DVNET*
LICENSE LIST /FULL DVNET*
> lic del dvnetend doesnt work btw.
As usual, showing actual commands with their
actual output can be more helpful than vague
descriptions and interpretations. "Doesn't
work" is generally useless as a problem
description.
General note on licensing: A PAK is not a
license, and a license is not a PAK.

Re: Changing license
If the DVNETEND license is correctly registered and loaded and you receive this error, then your Q-bus VAX/VMS V5.5-1 box is likely configured as a DECnet Phase IV level 1 or level 2 (area) router.
This host node status (and as end-node, router or area, IIRC) is displayed by:
NCP> SHOW EXECUTIVE CHARACTERISTIC
If your particular local host needs to operate as a router, then you'll need the DVNETRTG license.
Most DECnet LAN configurations will have one or more DECnet level 1 routers present, though it is possible to run DECnet on a LAN with no routers present.
It is fairly rare to SET a CIRCUIT STATE ON directly; that's usually part of the DECnet startup procedure STARTNET.COM, once DECnet has been configured via NETCONFIG.COM.
The DECnet Phase IV manuals are available on the OpenVMS Freeware V5.0 distribution:
http://digiater.nl/openvms/freeware/v50/decnet_phase_iv/
If I've guessed wrong here, please consider providing a few more details around the environment and the licensing and the DECnet configuration.

Re: Changing license
I belive the Vax is set to be a router and I dont have the DVNETRTG license.
I will use the netconfig.com again and disable router.
Btw I have DECnet phase V

Re: Changing license
1. I dont think DECNET Phase V was supported on OpenVMS versions before 7.0.
and
2. If you were running Phase V, then "NCP" is the wrong place to be. You should be in "NCL"
But Hey...

Re: Changing license
Off-hand, I don't recall the supported version range for the earliest of (as it was then known) VAX/VMS and MicroVMS products.
And yes, the use of the NCP tool here does usually imply the use of DECnet Phase IV or (technically, and more likely here) of DECnet Phase IV+, and less likely the use of DECnet Phase V and its NCL management interface.

Re: Changing license
I dont have NCL.
And yes, Im sure I have decnet V5.0
NCP>show executor
Mode Volatile summary as of 3-JUL-2009 08:35:04
Executor node = 1.4 (TRASAN)
state = on
Identification = DECnet-VAX V5.0, VMS V5.1-1
The Vax harddrive crashed in 1998, so maybe the person that had the vax back then installed an old backup from 1988 that cant handle decnet V5.0?
