Moves one or more licenses from one License Database to another. When you use LICENSE MOVE, LMF deletes those licenses from the source License Database. For License Databases not connected to a network, consider using the LICENSE ISSUE /PROCEDURE command. Format LICENSE MOVE product-name[,...] output-database
1 – Parameters
product-name[,...] Name or names of products with a license to be moved to the output License Database. output-database File specification of the License Database to which the license or licenses should be moved. This database must have been previously created using LICENSE CREATE. If you enter a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), LMF$LICENSE is the default file name, and .LDB is the default file type. If you do not specify a device or directory, the current default device and directory are used.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ALL
Positional qualifier. Specifies that all licenses with the given product name should be moved. This qualifier affects only the product name that immediately precedes it in the command string.
2.2 /AUTHORIZATION
/AUTHORIZATION=string Positional qualifier. Specifies a string that helps identify the license you want to modify. You must enter the authorization string exactly as it appears on your PAK. Use this optional qualifier only if you need it to identify the license. This qualifier affects only the product name that immediately precedes it in the command string.
2.3 /DATABASE
/DATABASE=filespec Specifies the location of the License Database from which the license or licenses should be moved. The default file specification is defined by the logical name LMF$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 License Database name and location.
2.4 /ISSUER
/ISSUER=string Positional qualifier. Specifies the name of the company (for example, DEC) that issued the PAK for the product. Use this optional qualifier only if you need it to identify the license. This qualifier affects only the product name that immediately precedes it in the command string.
2.5 /LOG
/LOG /NOLOG (default) Controls whether LICENSE MOVE displays the name of each license that it moves.
2.6 /PRODUCER
/PRODUCER=string Positional qualifier. Specifies the name of the company (for example, DEC) that owns the product for which you have a license. Use this optional qualifier only if you need it to identify the license. This qualifier affects only the product name that immediately precedes it in the command string.
3 – Description
If your license contract allows it, use LICENSE MOVE to move a license from one License Database to another. To move a license, enter LICENSE MOVE, including enough PAK information to clearly identify the license. LICENSE MOVE automatically deletes the license from the source License Database. Note that the moved license includes only the general PAK information normally provided by LICENSE REGISTER. LICENSE MOVE does not transfer any user-supplied data such as reservation lists, modified termination dates, modified units, include or exclude node lists, or comments.
4 – Examples
1.$ LICENSE MOVE FORTRAN ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB This command moves the Fortran license in the default License Database to the ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB output License Database. This command fails if the default database contains more than one Fortran license. 2.$ LICENSE MOVE FORTRAN /DATABASE=LMFDATA:LMF$LICENSE.LDB - _$ ALT_SYS:LMF$LICENSE.LDB This command moves the Fortran license in the source License Database, LMFDATA:LMF$LICENSE.LDB, to the destination License Database, ALT_SYS:LMF$LICENSE.LDB. This command fails if the source License Database contains more than one Fortran license. 3.$ LICENSE MOVE FORTRAN /ALL ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB This command moves all Fortran licenses in the default License Database to the output License Database, ALT_ SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB. 4.$ LICENSE MOVE * ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB This command merges two databases by moving all licenses in the default License Database to the output License Database, ALT_SYS2:LMF$LICENSE.LDB.
