Indeed Craig, Simon.  My regrets over the terse post.  I was just 
heading towards bed, rebooted the system and bang.  I have placed an 
issue with the SP and already received a response, although as yet 
remains unresolved.

I was aware new licenses would be required at 1-MAY-2024 and the system 
has been warning "%SHOW-I-TERMIMM, 10 licenses have terminated or will 
terminate in 30 days".  It's just I imagined 1-MAY-2024 would not mean 
11-APR-2024 and rebooted.

Incidentally, the SP list of packages available to my account went from 
a couple of pages down to *eight* items at the beginning of the week 
(most of which seem irrelevant to my use).  I had assumed it was 
something to do with the current CLP shakeup.  Was about to chase that 
up ...
