license server error

[Chris Sharman]

Look at "ncp sho exec char" - maximum links (that's DecNET IV, don't know
the equivalent in DECnet OSI).
Powerhouse requires 2 links per user.
If you've exhausted the links, increase both the permanent and volatile
settings.
Check the user's machine & the licence server (if different).

Failing that, read all the flexlm stuff & make sure it's right.
Failing that, call Cognos support & demand an unlimited licence to bypass
all that Unix licencing rubbish - it can be flakey on VMS systems.
