PMDF System Manager's Guide

If the error message

%SYSTEM-F-NOLICENSE, operation requires software license

is reported when attempting to send mail with PMDF, then the PMDF license is not properly loaded. Either the PMDF license PAKs need to be loaded, or the license needs to be enabled by PMDF. First check to see if the PMDF license is loaded by issuing the command:

$ SHOW LICENSE PMDF-product

If the PAKs have not been loaded, then load them. After the PAKs are loaded, if the license is for PMDF, then issue a PMDF LICENSE LOAD command. If the license does shows up properly and if the license is for PMDF, then make sure PMDF's license units have been loaded by issuing the following command:

$ PMDF LICENSE LOAD

If PMDF reports that you have insufficient license units and you feel that this is incorrect, then make sure that unlicensed cluster nodes are not executing the pmdf_startup.com command procedure.

Note that if your license is for PMDF, then PMDF LICENSE LOAD should respond with an informational message either to the effect that the units are loaded, or to the effect that they were already loaded.
