242.0. "Temp License expiring, need clarification on user license" by CSC32::J_WIELAND () Fri Apr 15 1994 14:42

Dear readers,

I have a customer that has a temp license on Polycenter Console Manager V1.0
for ultrix and he is now trying to load his 'purchased' 'user' licenses.
When he runs the IVP, (ie: setld -v), it fails...

If he does a lmf list (note: the 5th license is the temp one... and he has
only three remote systems configured at this time)

lmf> list

Can anyone out there help us!!

Thanks in advance

He has the wrong PAKS.

During the early field tests we had two PAK names for the product.

The Unlimited use PAK was POLY-CONSOLEMGR and the limited ( i.e. not 0
unit PAKS ) were POLY-CONSOLEMGR-USER.

This conflicted with normal practice so we were told to use POLY-CONSOLEMGR
for all PAKS and the unit numbers defined the numbers of connections.

So the long and the short of it is that those PAKS wont work!!!!


Chhers Simon....

    thanks for the quick response...
