PH License Server (FLEXlm/VMS)

[Gordon,Kevin]

Yes, but wouldn't it be lovely if FLEXlm actually worked on an Alpha? Even
on 7.10.G4 we are having to run permanently on demo keys since we increased
the number of users on one node. No other solution is offered.

I think it is a poor show that this situation has existed in production
software for so long.

G'day Al

I don't think you have any choice BUT to load DECNet (why not anyway?).
FLEXLm is used by Cognos across all OS platforms for consistency.  Cognos is
not the only company to use this license manager either and you might have
the same problem in the future with other software.  

DECNet doesn't take much to install, has many features unrelated to network
communications and is reliable and robust; it won't conflict with your
TCP/IP services at all.

Our system manager is in the process of evaluating the upgrade of OpenVMS
from v6.2 to v7.2.  At this point he would prefer to not bring up DECnet on
it, and the only thing requiring it is the PH license server FLEXlm.

So the questions are:

- is there any way to run PH on VMS 7.x without DECnet? (we will be TCP/IP
only)

- is there any plan to move the license to the VMS license utility?

- I recall some discussion on problems with DECnetPlus (phase 5), is this
still the case or will FLEXlm run with it.
