The number of license units registered with any license should match or exceed the number of license units required for the specified product to run on the specified processor. For example, when you obtain a license for Compaq Pascal to run on a VAXstation 3100 system, that Pascal license must specify at least the same number of license units as the LURT requires for a VAXstation 3100 system. The same Pascal license may not provide enough license units to authorize use of Pascal on a VAX 9000 system. The size of the license to run a software product on an OpenVMS Cluster environment must reflect the total number of concurrent users or processes and the processors on which the product will run. Not all licenses have a specific number of units.
Some licenses specify zero units, which is equivalent to unlimited units.
1.6 Types of Licenses Different types of software product licenses enable you to allow access to each product in ways that range from access for a specific user on a specific processor to general access for all users on all processors with in an OpenVMS Cluster. Table 1-2 describes the licenses that LMF supports. Table 1-2 Types of Licenses Type Identification on PAK License by See Availability Availability Table Code has a nonzero value. Section 1.6.1 Activity Activity Table Code has a nonzero value. The license descriptions that follow provide information to help you understand and manage the product authorization process on VAX or Alpha computers using LMF, rather than to help you order software licenses.
