VMS Help LICENSE, UNLOAD  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Unloads a license, making the product unavailable from the
    current node. The product license or licenses must be registered
    in the License Database and must have been previously loaded
    with an interactive or automatic LICENSE LOAD command. Running
    processes are allowed to continue to completion.

    To use this command, you need CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and SYSPRV
    privileges.

    Format

      LICENSE UNLOAD  product-name[,...]

1 - Parameter

 product-name[,...]

    Name of the product to be unloaded. You can unload only licenses
    that have been loaded. Enter each product name exactly as it
    appears on its Product Authorization Key (PAK). You cannot use
    wildcard characters for product-name.

2 - Qualifiers

 2.1 - /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG (default)

    Controls whether LICENSE UNLOAD lists the name of each unloaded
    license.

 2.2 - /PRODUCER

       /PRODUCER=string

    Positional qualifier.

    Specifies the name of the company (for example, DEC) that owns
    the product for which you have a license. The default string
    for this qualifier is DEC. If DEC is not the producer of the
    product, you must use this qualifier to identify the product.
    This qualifier affects only the product name that immediately
    precedes it in the command string. Wildcard characters are not
    allowed.

3 - Description

    LICENSE UNLOAD affects all units for a single product even if
    the loaded units are combined from multiple licenses. In such a
    case, you cannot unload the units from a single license. You must
    unload all the units.

    You are not required to unload a loaded license before modifying
    data in the License Database. To maximize product availability,
    modify licenses in the License Database first, and then load
    the changes by entering a LICENSE UNLOAD command followed by a
    LICENSE LOAD command.

4 - Examples

    1.$ LICENSE UNLOAD/PRODUCER=DEC FORTRAN

      This command unloads the Compaq Fortran license on the node
      from which it is entered.

    2.$ LICENSE UNLOAD PASCAL,FORTRAN

      This command unloads the Compaq Pascal and Compaq Fortran
      licenses on the node from which it is entered.
