PAKGEN, SYSTEM_MGMT, Generate PAKs and License Software Applications

No, you can't use this to license yourself for any HP or any third-party 
software products; to any products that already use LMF.

This License Product Authorization Key (PAK) license generation (PAKGEN)
package allows a hobbyist programmer or system manager to add license 
calls into local application code, and to use these home-grown FREEWARE 
licenses to control and to track and to manage user-level access into 
local applications using LMF.  You can limit the numbers of parallel uses 
of a locally-licensed application using the LMF units or activities
mechanisms, and you can enable or disable access to an application by 
loading or unloading a particular locally-defined license PAK.

Because the OpenVMS LMF commands are restricted to privileged users, any
unprivileged folks using this PAKGEN tool (still) can't load and can't
bypass these locally-issued licenses.  Any privileged user can generate 
and can load these license PAKs, of course.

This PAKGEN submission also obviously explains and documents how to generate 
these FREEWARE LMF PAKs, and how to add code into an application program to 
check for a license PAK.   (The HP DSPP program offers a registered PAKGEN 
PAK to vendors producing commercial application software -- as of this writing, 
acquiring a product-specific DSPP PAKGEN PAK is itself free.)

The FREEWARE PAKGEN PAK here does *NOT* allow anyone to bypass LMF.  Further,
this package does *NOT* allow anyone to license themselves access into any
LMF-licensed products from HP or third-party producers.  This package can 
allow you to more easily manage local source code and local applications 
processing using the OpenVMS License Management Facility (LMF).
