PAKGEN Freeware Demo

Software licensing with LMF is described in the "OpenVMS License Management
Utility Manual". Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) may use PAKGEN to
implement LMF license checks in their application code and to generate PAKs
they will give to users with their application. 

The FREEWARE_DEMO.COM command procedure creates a PAKGEN_PRIV.COM command
procedure that requires system privileges.  It illustrates how to create a 
special FREEWARE license database, register a PAKGEN PAK, and generate/issue 
a MYPROGRAM PAK.  You may test this with the sample user programs that are 
instrumented to check for the MYPROGRAM PAK.  I suggest compiling 
the program and running it before and after you register/load the USER PAK. 

ISVs may request a PAKGEN PAK with their own PRODUCER and ISSUER token that is
registered with the HP License Key manager.  The HP Developer & Solution
Partner Program (DSPP) offers this free service to ISVs that are members of the
program.  Contacts to join are listed on the DSPP portal at
