Seeing as there appear to be three license databases:

>
> Directory DUA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]

> Directory DUA0:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE]
>
> LMF$LICENSE.LDB;1

Could it be that when one node starts up and runs the LICENSE MODIFY and 
LICENSE LOAD commands, it (re)writes to the common license database 
instead of the node-specific one? That might explain why the problem is 
intermittent.

Could it be that all three of the files listed by the above directory 
command are a single file? That would explain it - when I reboot PEAR, 
it modifies the VAX-VMS license to be for PEAR only. Then, when I reboot 
LIVVAX, it would come up as unlicensed. But then my node-specific 
startup script modifies the license back to be for LIVVAX only. 
Essentially, both nodes are "fighting" over a single record in the 
common license database.

Does that sound plausible?
