License Management Supplement
This appendix contains supplemental information to the license instructions
given in the installation and upgrade procedures and in the OpenVMS License
Management Utility Manual. Although most of the information in this appendix
pertains to managing OpenVMS and System Integrated Product (SIP) licenses,
some of the information pertains to managing layered product licenses.
This appendix covers the following information:
• Registering your licenses
• Using the License Unit Requirement Table (LURT)
• License Management Facility (LMF) notes
• Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS license
• Other System Integrated Product (SIP) licenses
B.1 Registering Your Licenses
This section provides an overview of the license registration procedure.
B.1.1 When to Register
After you install the OpenVMS VAX operating system, you must register an
OpenVMS VAX license. An OpenVMS VAX license lets you use the operating
system. You must also register the licenses for any of the following SIPs you have
purchased:
• OpenVMS Cluster software
• Compaq DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS VAX
• DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS VAX
• OpenVMS RMS Journaling
• Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS
After you upgrade the OpenVMS VAX operating system, in most cases, there is
no need to reregister licenses for the operating system or for SIPs.
In addition to the OpenVMS VAX operating system and the SIPs, many
layered products—including DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX—that run
on OpenVMS VAX Version 7.3 also require license registration. Refer to the
OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual for a full explanation of license
registration.
