B.1 Registering Your Licenses
B.1.2 How to Register
To register a license, you need to obtain a Product Authorization Key (PAK). A
typical PAK is a piece of paper provided by Compaq Computer Corporation that
contains the appropriate information to authorize access to software on a VAX
computer or in an OpenVMS Cluster environment. You can obtain a PAK from a
Compaq representative the same way that you obtain software.
B.2 Using the License Unit Requirement Table (LURT)
Many PAKs contain an alphabetic letter in the availability or activity fields.
This letter refers to a column in the License Unit Requirement Table (LURT).
(For more information about using the LURT, refer to the OpenVMS License
Management Utility Manual.)
Table B–1 has seven lettered columns (A, B, C, D, E, F, and I; G and H are
reserved by Compaq and are not listed here). The numbers listed in these
columns indicate the number of license units required for each processor listed
in the System Marketing Model column. For example, if your PAK specifies
Availability = F, you would look in column F to determine that you need 600
license units to load the license on a VAX 6000-220 computer, or 4800 license
units to load the license on a VAX 9000-430 computer.
Note that some PAKs specify MOD_UNITS in the options field. The MOD_
UNITS option allows the system manager to use the DCL command LICENSE
MODIFY/UNITS to temporarily increase the size of the PAK. This permits
a product to be used, in certain emergency situations, on a processor larger
than the processor size specified in the license. Check your license terms and
conditions before modifying license units. Reset the PAK size to its original size
after the emergency situation is resolved.
