#/etc/lmf register
Alternatively you may enter the lmf utility and type the commands after the prompt, for example:
#lmf lmf> register
The lmf register command is used to register license details from a Product Authorization Key (PAK) in the License Database. The LMF checks the information that you are trying to register. Some of the fields on the PAK are blank and these should be left blank when you type in the information. If the Producer field is left blank, the LMF assumes the Producer to be "DEC". The following fields always require an entry:
If you use the lmf register command with no arguments you will be presented with an empty template which includes all the fields on a PAK and an additional field for your comments. An editor is invoked in order that you may modify the template. Unless you have set the environment variable EDITOR to your favourite editor vi is used. Use the editor to fill in the information from the PAK in the appropiate field (you may type the data in uppercase or lowercase):
Licensed Software Product Product Authorization Key Enter data on lines terminated with : Issuer:dec Authorization Number:tpq-pk-88229-23 Product Name:ultrix Producer:dec Number of units:1600 Version: Product Release Date:1-jul-1991 Key Termination Date: Availability Table Code: Activity Table Code:constant=100 Key Options:no_share,p_family Product Token: Hardware-Id: Checksum:1-afap-icfd-bcpj-fcgl Comment:This is an example license
Enter the information exactly as it appears on your PAK otherwise the checksum at the end will fail. If the license data has been entered correctly it is copied into the License Database when you leave the editor.
#lmf load "users product" "[producer [authorization]]"
For example to load all of the units for the product ULTRIX you should type:
#lmf load 0 ULTRIX
You will need to supply enough arguments to uniquely identify the license that you wish to load. The lmf reset command is used to copy the license details for all products from the License Database to the kernel cache. To invoke the lmf reset command type:
#lmf reset
