Library /sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb  —  LICENSE  MOVE
    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.
