Upgrade and Installation Manual

Previous | Contents | Index

## 3.4 Registering Licenses

Before you can use the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha operating system and its components, you must register all licenses in one of two ways:

- During the installation (which Compaq recommends), by responding to the prompts displayed by the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. This procedure is executed if you answer Yes (the default) to the following question:

            Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys?

- After the installation, by using the LICENSE REGISTER command or by invoking SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM.

In addition to reviewing the license information provided in this chapter, you can also refer to the following:

- Appendix C, which contains notes and supplemental information about licenses and licensing procedures
- The OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual, which contains complete, detailed information about the licensing procedure

### 3.4.1 Types of Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Licenses

The operating system uses one or more of the following types of licenses, depending on your hardware and software configuration.

Note All Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Base and SMP licenses include the NO_SHARE attribute and remain with the initial host computer.

Type of License | Description
--- | ---
Operating System Base License | Grants the right to noninteractive use of the remote batch, print, application, and computing services of the operating system on a single processor and authorizes one direct login (for system management purposes only). This license is a prerequisite for Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Interactive User Licenses.
Interactive User Licenses | Grant the right to interactive use of the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha operating system, provided you have previously installed the appropriate Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Operating System Base License on your Alpha computer. These licenses, which are concurrent, are available in any quantity desired or as an unlimited user license. You can add interactive users to the computer at any time by specifying the same node name on the additional Interactive User License PAK and by following the license combination procedure described in the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Extension to the Operating System Base License | Upgrades the Operating System Base License and all Interactive User licenses (including Unlimited) to the matching multiprocessing level of your DEC 4000 or DEC 7000 series Alpha computer. Because the Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Extension grants all the rights the existing Base and User licenses provided at the uniprocessing level, you do not need to reinstall those licenses when you upgrade to a multiprocessing system. Each time you upgrade your system to a new multiprocessing level (for example, from a DEC 7000 Model 620 Alpha system to a DEC 7000 Model 630 Alpha system), you add an SMP Extension to your existing licenses.

### 3.4.2 How to Register Licenses

After you install the OpenVMS Alpha operating system, the system displays the following message:

        If you have Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) to register,
        you can register them now.

    Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys? (Yes/No) [Yes]

Respond to the prompt as follows:

IF ... | THEN ...
--- | ---
you choose to register your licenses at this time (which Compaq recommends), | do the following: Be sure you review Appendix C and have the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual available. Be sure you have a copy of the Product Authorization Key (PAK) for each license that you will register. Type Y and press the Return key. Register your licenses, as described in the next section.
you choose not to register your licenses at this time, | do the following: Type N and press the Return key. Skip the next section about registering licenses and follow the directions in Section 3.5. After completing the installation, register your licenses using the LICENSE REGISTER command or by invoking SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM before performing any other postinstallation tasks.

### 3.4.3 Using the Licensing Procedure

Entering Y (Yes) to register your licenses during the installation invokes the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure, which displays the following message:

    VMS License Management Utility Options:

        1. REGISTER a Product Authorization Key
        2. AMEND an existing Product Authorization Key
        3. CANCEL an existing Product Authorization Key
        4. LIST Product Authorization Keys
        5. MODIFY an existing Product Authorization Key
        6. DISABLE an existing Product Authorization Key
        7. DELETE an existing Product Authorization Key
        8. COPY an existing Product Authorization Key
        9. MOVE an existing Product Authorization Key
       10. ENABLE an existing Product Authorization Key
       11. SHOW the licenses loaded on this node
       12. SHOW the unit requirements for this node

       99. Exit this procedure

       Type '?' at any prompt for a description of the information
       requested. Press Ctrl/Z at any prompt to return to this menu.

    Enter one of the above choices [1]

1. Select the appropriate options (beginning with 1, as indicated in the display) until you have successfully registered all required PAKs.
2. After you register all your licenses, exit from the License Management procedure by entering option 99.

## 3.5 Completing the Installation

The following sections describe the remaining steps that you need to perform to complete the installation.

### 3.5.1 Choosing Descriptive Help Text

Next, the system prompts you as follows:

    The installation can provide brief or detailed descriptions.
    In either case, you can request the detailed descriptions by typing "?".

    Do you always want detailed descriptions? (Yes/No) [No]

If you answer Yes, the system will display additional explanatory text with each prompt.

### 3.5.2 Selecting Components

The system next displays the following message, indicating that the procedure is ready to install the operating system:

    The following product has been selected:
        DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.3                    Platform (product suite)

    Configuration phase starting ...

    You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and for
    any products that may be installed to satisfy software dependency requirements.

    DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.3: OpenVMS and related products Platform

        COPYRIGHT (c) 27-MAY-2001 -- All rights reserved

        Compaq Computer Corporation

After the system displays a series of additional messages, the procedure prompts you to choose the default values for all the options and suboptions for each component included in the operating system. The display is similar to the following:

        Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES]

When selecting components, note the following:

- If you want all the default values, press the Return key.
  If you want to select components individually, answer NO. The system will then prompt you for each option and suboption.
- You should review the list of options and compare them with the requirements for your system. If you are selecting components individually, be sure that you include all components necessary to support the needs of your users. Note also that certain components are dependent upon the installation of other components.
- If you are not sure whether you want certain options, request help by entering a question mark (?) at the prompt for that option.
- After you select all the options you want, you will have an opportunity to view your selections and make changes (if necessary).
- OpenVMS Management Station software is automatically installed on your OpenVMS system disk when you accept all the default values. If you do not accept the default values, you must select the OpenVMS Management Station component (server and client files) if you plan to use that product. After the installation is complete, you can then prepare your Compaq OpenVMS Alpha system and your PC to run OpenVMS Management Station by following the procedures described in Appendix D.
- If you decide after the installation to change which Compaq OpenVMS Alpha operating system options you want installed on your system, you must reconfigure the installation as described in Section 1.3.3.2.
- After you boot the new system disk and log in, you can obtain information about individual system files by entering HELP SYSTEM_FILES at the dollar sign prompt ($).

    Press Return to continue...

        ****************************************************************

        You can install or upgrade the OpenVMS Alpha operating system
        or you can install or upgrade layered products that are included
        on the OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD-ROM.

        You can also execute DCL commands and procedures to perform
        "standalone" tasks, such as backing up the system disk.

        Please choose one of the following:

            1)  Install or upgrade OpenVMS Alpha Version x7.3-76H
            2)  Display products and patches that this procedure can install
            3)  Install or upgrade layered products and patches
            4)  Show installed products
            5)  Reconfigure installed products
            6)  Remove installed products
            7)  Execute DCL commands and procedures
            8)  Shut down this system

After you complete the installation and shut down the system, go to Section 3.7.

## 3.6 Installing Layered Products

You can use the menu system included on the operating system CD-ROM to install certain layered products with the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. You can view a list of the layered products that can be installed in this way by choosing option 2 from the menu. (To install layered products that are not listed, see Chapter 4 and the installation documentation for each layered product.)

You may see the following product name while installing layered products:

            DEC AXPVMS UCX V4.2-PLACEHOLDER

Do not attempt to install this kit. This is a "dummy" that is needed to facilitate upgrading from the prior UCX implementation of Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS to the new implementation.

If you do attempt to install this kit, the following message will be displayed:

              The UCX implementation of TCP/IP Services is obsolete and is not
              supported on OpenVMS V7.2 and higher versions.

              Starting with OpenVMS V7.2, the UCX implementation of TCP/IP
              services is replaced by the new TCPIP product.

              This is a placeholder kit to satisfy OpenVMS upgrade requirements
              so that UCX can be automatically upgraded to TCPIP.

              You cannot use this kit to install UCX.

The installation will then terminate.

You can install (or upgrade to) the new implementation of Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, version 5.1, as part of the OpenVMS upgrade. If you wish to install version 5.1 separately, choose the product:

            DEC AXPVMS TCPIP V5.1

To install layered products using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility, choose option 2 to view the list and then option 3 to perform the installation. For example:

    Please choose one of the following:
