Units loaded: 2000 Units allocated: 600 Units available: 1400
The SHOW LICENSE command in this example lists the current
users of the activity license for the product DECwrite. For
each instance of use of the product, the process identification
(PID), process name, node, and user name are identified. The
units column shows the number of units allocated for each
particular invocation of the product. The last line displays
the units loaded when the LICENSE LOAD command was given, the
total number of units currently allocated, and the total of
unused (available for others to use) units.

Units loaded: 600 Units reserved: 400 Units available: 200
This example shows a personal use license. The DEC TEST_PER
product has enough units for six reservations with 100 units
for each reservation. The license database (LDB) only has
a total of four names in the reserve list attached to this
product. If the license administrator (usually the system
manager) wants to take full advantage of this license and adds
2 more names to the reserve list, he should use the following
commands to update the product information:
$ LICENSE MODIFY TEST_PER/RESERVE=(NAME, ANOTHER_NAME)/ADD
$ LICENSE UNLOAD TEST_PER
$ LICENSE LOAD TEST_PER
If this product is used in a cluster environment, you may use
the SYSMAN utility to unload and load the license.

10 SLTG43
600 TORN8O
600 LTNUP
Units loaded: 620 Units allocated: 1220 Units available: ***
In this example, the number of units allocated appears to be
greater than the total units loaded and the units available
value is three asterisks (***).
When you see three asterisks (***) as the number of units
available, it is generally not a cause for alarm. This
situation might arise when the license database (LDB) has
been updated on disk, but the new information has not been
propagated to the license database in memory on all nodes in
the cluster. This node, SLTG24, happens to be one of the nodes
that has not received the latest LDB information.
To update the information in the license database in memory for
the TEST_CAP product, enter the following commands:
$ LICENSE UNLOAD TEST_CAP
$ LICENSE LOAD TEST_CAP
The next time you issue the SHOW LICENSE/USAGE command the
three asterisks (***) in display should disappear. If,
however, you are using multiple LDB files in a cluster, you
should read the section on the license database in the HP
OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.

In this example, the display shows how many license units are
required for each license type (A, B, etc.) on each node in the
cluster. If a row of three asterisks (***) is displayed for a
node, it means that the node is in the process of booting.

This example shows how many license units are loaded, how many

an Integrity servers system. The last column in the display
shows that are products are in compliance with their license
unit requirements.

OPENVMS-I64-HAOE HP Virtual Machine guest, no usage information
Issuing the SHOW LICENSE/USAGE command from an OpenVMS guest
cluster member displays the text "Virtual Machine guest, no
usage information" for PCL licenses loaded on the system. There
is essentially no usage charge against the license units for
OpenVMS guest nodes since multiple guests can run on the same
host using the same license units.
