    Fax and verbal data show he does not have a license on the machine (per
    ingrid).
    
    I called them on 3/20 and left voice mail asking them to call us back
    if they still have a problem with the license.

    NOTE: PHONE NUMBER ABOVE IS WRONG  correct number is (408) 542 1500
    
    I talked to Rob on 3/24. He had received mail from John T. but still 
    had problems
    
    He is trying to build a dual boot system (3.2 and 4.0) on 2 disks with
    one set of licenses.
    
    I told him to mount the 3.2 disk on the 4.0 system and then make a soft
    link with /var/adm/lmf on the 4.0 disk pointing to /var/adm/lmf on the
    3.2 disk.

          Thank you for your response.  I  am still having some difficlty, 
          loading Digital Unix 4.0B on my system.  Here is where I stand:

          I am trying to load Digital Unix 4.0B on another disk on my
          system (that is currently running 3.2 off one disk).  I am loading
          the 4.0 disk from scratch (CD).

          I was able to tar off the lmf directory to floppy from the 3.2
          O/S and restore it under the 4.0B O/S.  The message I get when
          I go to run level 2 is:


          "Can't find an OSF-BASE, UNIX WORKSTATION or UNIX-SERVER license
          PAK"

          But, if I go into the lmf utility and do a list, it shows all
          of my license paks as being enabled, kernel cache empty.

          Any ideas?

          Thank you for your assistance.

           My PIN number is 701960.

    Rob-
    
    Your problem is "The kernal cache is empty". This cache must be loaded
    from
    the license data base.
    
    You can do this manually with an lmf load command as described in the
    lmf
    man pages.
    
    This loading is supposed to be done automatically on a system boot.
    Perhaps
    you did not reboot after transfering the data base or there may be some
    other
    problem such as ownership of the database file or directory.
    
    my system(3.2c) shows
