Dear all,
I've just had a small shock. The PAKs file I was sent as a
Digital/Compaq/HP partner in 2002 contained a license for OSF-BASE set
to expire on 4th April 2003!
Proof:
#
#
$my_lmf delete OSF-BASE
#
$my_lmf register - << =\EOF=
Licensed Software Product
Product Authorization Key
Enter data on lines terminated with :
Issuer: DEC
Authorization Number: ASP-IL-2002MAR20-328
Product Name: OSF-BASE
Producer: DEC
Number of units: 0
Version:
Product Release Date:
Key Termination Date: 04-APR-2003
Availability Table Code:
Activity Table Code: CONSTANT=100
Key Options:
Product Token: $ASAP
Hardware-Id:
Checksum: [omitted]
Because the shell script which installs the PAKs deletes the current
one I've just noticed that I have to re-enter OSF-BASE on each and
every Alpha on the network.
This is quite amazing, clearly the 2003 set does not contain OSF-BASE
(and it shouldn't as it is shipped with the system!).
