6275.0. "replacing T1.4 with V1.4, license check failed" by COMICS::PRICEC (I had a life, then I joined the CSC) Wed Apr 19 1995 11:26

    
    
    
    
    I'm confused, again.
    
    
    
    I had MCC BMS T1.4 on Ultrix installed on a test system here.
    
    
    I then tried to install the SSB version from the Jan 95 CD set. pnm140
    
    I removed the T1.4 subsets, then opted to install all of the subsets
    found in pnm140/kit
    
    
    It seemed to tick along quite nicely then ......
    
    
    loading DECnet/OSI AM into the dictionary
    
    sh5: /usr/bin/mcc_dap: not found
    
    
       enrolling mcc_dna5_am... %MCC-E-LMF_FAILED, license check failed
     Done.
    
    DECmcc DECnet/OSI AM VERSION V1.4-0 for ULTRIX Installation complete
    
    
    So I thought I'd try the IVP .....

    And I can't seem to find an mcc_iconic_map anywhere.
    
    
    
    I know I don't spend all day, every dreaming about MCC (though it feels
    like sometimes), but I thought that what I had done was fairly
    sensible.
    
    I've checked the install guide and the release notes, and couldn;t see
    anything obvious that I had missed and there is an active MCC-BMS license 
    according to lmf. 
    
    Has anyone else experienced this, or is there something that I'm
    missing.

Why not posting its details?

Hi all,

For those who read this note i write here the end of the story.

The problem was related to the "Product Release Date" field.

MCC V1.4 version implements a check on the "Product Release Date"
but only if this field is present.

There is no date check at all if the field is blank.

To be valid the Product Release Date must be blank or 15-JAN-1995 (or later
of course).

Generally customer pak have this field blank.
The problem may appear for DIGITAL internal use licenses.
In that case a new license can be got using usual way.

Hope this helps,

Benoit
