Hi,
Here is the belated summary.
Thanks to Rochelle Lauer, David J. DeWolfe, Russ Fish, Simon Millard, Tom
Ackenhusen, Tom Blinn, Randy Rogers, Alan Davis, Selden E Ball Jr, Bryan
Daniel, and anybody else who e-mailed me but I left off this list.
The answer is that the LMF supplied by MicroFocus Cobol is entirely
different from the LMF shipped with Tru64. I needed to completely delete
three prior installations of MF Cobol's LMF and reinstall to get it to work.
I could do this safely without affecting the Tru64 LMF. I'm still having
some issues with MFCobol's LMF but I'll work those out with their tech
support.
Thanks again everybody!
Andy
ORIGINAL QUESTION
===============
I'm having a few problems with LMF including an understanding of how it
works.
If I run mflmadm from /usr/lib/cobol/lmf (installed by a 3rd-party:
MicroFocus Cobol)I get a form-based interface to enter license keys. When
this works I can see the keys I've entered for our MF-Cobol products. If I
run lmf from /usr/sbin I get a command-line type interface where I see all
the operating sytem related licenses (License PAKs). In /sbin/rc3.d there
is a system startup file S08startlmf that is supposed to start up the
license manager. This uses the command '/usr/sbin/lmf
{start|stop|restart}'.
I guess my basic questions are 1) what's the difference between the license
manager that is run from the cobol directory and the license manager that is
run from /usr/sbin? and 2) does each 3rd-party product have it's 'own' lmf
including the system which has its own lmf for system software?
Additionally, I can't get the License manager running.
'/sbin/rc3.d/S08startlmf start' doesn't start the license manager.
Also, it seems as if I've got lmf installed in three different places:
/usr/lib/cobol/lmf, /usr/lib/mflmf, and /usr/opt/cobol/lmf. mflmadm run the
form-based type interface (as opposed to the command-line type I get when
running /usr/sbin/lmf). I can get mflmadm to work in 1 directory
(/usr/lib/cobol/lmf) but in the other 2 directories when I run mflmadm I get
a mangled version of the form-based one. I'm in the same session, have the
same environment, etc. (TERM=vt100).
