964.0. "dbx Requires a Seperate License?" by OTOOA::otop63.oto.dec.com::otoa01::tsue () Fri May 30 1997 16:16

Hi,

I have a customer who wishes to use dbx to help debug core files generated 
by Oracle applications.  He was told that you need a dbx license to do 
this.  Is this true?  I thought you were allowed to use dbx if you bought 
the OS.

Cheers,

964.1Developer's license, not a specific dbx one...QUARRY::petertrigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertaintyMon Jun 02 1997 10:5612
Yes you do need a license to run dbx on anything other then the kernel.
And you have to be root in order to do that.

This was something we were told to do, and, as developers, we weren't
too thrilled about.  We'd prefer it be accessible to everybody, 
but that not the way it is.

You will need a developer's pak, which you would need to run dbx, ladebug,
and the C compiler.  The license can be for either OSF-DEV, OSF-DEV-USER,
or Osf-DEV-G.  Any one of these should work for you.
