949.0. "Use of VAXCLUSTER-CONSOLE license when using PCM with POLY-CONSOLEMGR" by 42326::MCGILLM () Tue Aug 29 1995 08:50



    Hi,

    I have just got a quick couple of questions regarding licensing and 
    PCM on OpenVMS  Firstly, is it possible to use 100 unit 
    VAXCLUSTER_COLSOLE licenses in conjunction with 100 unit POLY-CONSOLEMGR 	
    licenses when running PCM?  Secondly, are there any plans to stop the 
    use of the old VAXCLUSTER-CONSOLE licenses with future versions of PCM?

    Thanks in anticipation,

    Mark McGill  (UK OpenVMS Support).

    Yes. I doubt you'll find many issued against an OpenVMS platform as
    there were some issues with the LMF name of the licenses because of the
    original version of PCM (V1.0) ran only on Ultrix. The point is that
    new licenses for OpenVMS boxes are using VAXCLUSTER-CONSOLE as the
    product name.

    That is highly doubtful due to the point stated above.

    Dan is right, the PCM product will continue to use the LMF
    name of VAXCLUSTER-CONSOLE for its OpenVMS components since
    there are 15,000+ licenses/paks out in customers sites using
    this LMF name, and we don't intend to backpak them all just
    to get a new LMF name out there.  Customers who are under
    service contract for VCS can legally "migrate" to PCM on
    OpenVMS VAX at no additional cost.
