The DCL command SHOW LICENSE displays software product licenses active on the current node. An active license is one that has been registered in the LICENSE database and has been loaded into system memory. To register and activate software product licenses, use the License Management utility (LICENSE) or VMSLICENSE.COM. Some licenses are registered automatically during product installation. For a complete description of this utility, see the VSI OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual. To display licenses registered in the LICENSE database, use the LICENSE LIST command.
