Library /sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb  —  LICENSE  DISABLE
    Disables a license currently registered in the License Database.

    Format

      LICENSE DISABLE  product-name[,...]

1  –  Parameter 

 product-name[,...]

    Name or names of products with a license that you want to
    disable. You can disable only licenses that currently exist
    in the License Database. Enter the product name exactly as it
    appears on your Product Authorization Key (PAK).

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /ALL 

    Positional qualifier.

    Specifies that all licenses with the given product name should
    be disabled. 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
    disable. 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. 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, HP) 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 DISABLE displays the name of each
    license that it disables.

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 

    LICENSE DISABLE does not immediately affect loaded licenses. To
    affect a loaded license, you must first enter a LICENSE UNLOAD
    command, which unloads the license, but allows current processes
    to finish using the product. Note that to immediately disable all
    loaded licenses, you must shut down the system.

    You cannot use LICENSE LOAD to activate a disabled license; you
    must first use LICENSE ENABLE.

    LMF does not display error messages when either you or the system
    attempts to unload a disabled license.

4  –  Example 

  $ LICENSE DISABLE ABCD /PRODUCER=DEC

      This command disables the license for ABCD software produced
      by HP. Because no database is specified, LMF uses the default
      database.
