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.
