3723.0. "Is EMS license good enough for ELM and BMS?" by OSLACT::BJORN (Woops, now I have to learn changing diper's) Fri Sep 11 1992 08:18

I have question about licenses for DECmcc EMS.

If I've previosly installed DECmcc EMS, and registered the DECmcc-EMS license,
and I now want to upgrade the BMS part of EMS, with the ELM AM in addition,
do I need any additional licenses?

This is a demo machine and I want to upgrade DECmcc to 1.2 without having to
reinstall the whole EMS. Is the license checking for ELM AM satisfied with
having a EMS license instead og ELM-FM and ELM-AM licenses?

    No.  For installation, the ELM AM license must be present or the
    installation will not work.
3723.2Why is BMS license needed if you have EMS licenseOSLACT::BJORNWoops, now I have to learn changing diper'sMon Oct 05 1992 08:0315
Here's another one. Believe it or not.

When my customer received his Sept. CD's he found DECmcc BMS V1.2 a.o., but he
didn't find an updated DECmcc EMS. He figured he wanted to upgrade the BMS part
of EMS, so he installed it, using VMSINSTAL. He very quickly found out that he
needed a BMS license for the product. He answered yes, believing that EMS
license covered for the product. BUT, NO, the IVP failed, telling him he didn't
have the license.

Is this how this should work? I mean, is the DECmcc BMS product different
between the two packaging methods? The same question applies to DECmcc TSAM and
DECmcc ELM, and DECmcc TCP/IP DA.

The stand-alone TSAM kit which comes from SSB (not part of EMS) does not support
the EMS license.  At the time we went to SSB, the EMS people could not give
me enough information so that the TSAM kit could anticipate the future
unreleased EMS kit.

Your customer will have to wait for the EMS kit for a TSAM which recognizes
an EMS license.

    The stand-alone ELM kits do not support the EMS license either.
    The ELM kits went to SSB before the EMS license release date was
    determined.   Separate ELM modules were built for the EMS kit
    to recognize the EMS license.
    
    You need the following licenses to install/use the stand-alone 
    the ELM kits:
    
    ELM AM requires DECMCC-ELM-AM-V
    ELM FM requires either DECMCC-ELM-FM-V or DECMCC-BMS.
