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.
