<<< VAXAXP::NOTES$:[NOTES$LIBRARY]VMSNOTES.NOTE;1 >>> -< VAX and Alpha VMS - Digital Internal Use Only >- ================================================================================ Note 207.9 SYS$LOOKUP_LICENSE finds PAK that $LICENSE LIST doesn't... 9 of 10 STAR::ABIS "Easy as 3.14159265" 15 lines 18-FEB-1997 17:04 -< it's after 5, do you know where your stack is? >- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Besides the product name for the group license, product tokens (by descriptor), and hardware id (by descriptor), the only other data returned is the context. The context parameter is 16 bytes ( LMF$K_CONTEXTLEN ), which is two quadwords. So perhaps some stacks are being stomped as we speak? The sys$grant_license system service, which is called by sys$lookup_license (and all third party applications who aren't allowed to use sys$lookup_license) to do the actual license checking, is fairly well documented in the PAKGEN documentation. But PAKGEN is an orphan product and its docs are now also out of date. There was only money to update the LMF Utility manual for LMF V1.2. ONLY I KNOW ALL THE SECRETS OF LMF [insert maniacal laugh here]! Sad, isn't it?
