This command loads all licenses that are registered and enabled in the License Database into memory. On OpenVMS Alpha and VAX systems, it sets up the License Unit Requirement Table (LURT) for your system. On OpenVMS Integrity server systems, it loads the operating environment table and all per core licenses into memory. Because the OpenVMS operating system issues a LICENSE START command during system startup, you should need this command only if system startup fails. To use this command, you need CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and SYSPRV privileges on OpenVMS Alpha systems. In addition to those three, you also need SYSLCK privilege on OpenVMS Integrity server systems. To load the licenses in the License Database of a system with LMF already started, use LICENSE LOAD. Format LICENSE START
1 – Parameters
None.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /DATABASE
/DATABASE=filespec Specifies the location of the License Database. The default file specification is defined by the logical name LMF$LICENSE, which points to SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB on an unmodified OpenVMS system. Use this optional qualifier only if you do not use the default database.
2.2 /LOG
/LOG (default) /NOLOG Controls whether LICENSE START displays a message to acknowledge the loading of each product license.
3 – Example
$ LICENSE START On OpenVMS Alpha and VAX systems, this command sets up the LURT for your system and loads all the licenses that are registered and enabled in the License Database. On OpenVMS Integrity server systems, this command loads the operating environment table and all PCL licenses into memory.
