[Info-vax] Hobbyist license expiry and transition to new license

[Volker Halle]

John,

I'm pretty sure, that OpenVMS does not 're-evaluate' licenses at runtime. Licenses (marked active in the license database) are loaded at startup time or with manual LICENSE LOAD commands.

Try this:

$ SHOW LIC/BR

Does the NEW license have the same attributes shown as the OLD expiring license ? If not, you would need to provide more information.

If so, disable the old expiring license in the license database after first finding it's authoriation number with $ LIC LIS/FULL <license-name>. Then $ LICENSE DISABLE/AUTH=xxx <license-name>

Then do a LIC UNLOAD <license-name> followed by a LICENSE LOAD <license-name> 

Volker.
