HELPLIB.HLB  —  PRODUCT  REGISTER  PRODUCT  Description
    The PRODUCT REGISTER PRODUCT command only updates the product
    database; it does not copy any files ' to your system.

    You can use this command to add information to the product
    database about products that have been installed by a mechanism
    other than PCSI, such as VMSINSTAL. You can also use this command
    to store information about products previously installed by the
    PCSI utility if the product database needs to be rebuilt due to
    file corruption or deleted database files.

    To register a product, you need to have a file in the source
    directory to supply details about the product being registered.
    This file can be one of the following:

    o  A complete product kit

    o  The product description file (PDF) extracted from the product
       kit or database

    o  A special transition kit that identifies files installed by a
       mechanism other than the PCSI utility.

    If you do not have a kit available to provide detailed
    information about a product, you can use the command procedure
    SYS$UPDATE:PCSI$REGISTER_PRODUCT.COM to register the name of
    the product and its version, producer, and base system in the
    product database. After you register a product using the command
    procedure, other products can reference it, and the PRODUCT SHOW
    PRODUCT command displays it as an installed product.
