He faxes
"When I go from init level 0 to init level 2 and login I get the following

Fax and verbal data show he does not have a license on the machine (per
ingrid).
I called them on 3/20 and left voice mail asking them to call us back
if they still have a problem with the license.

NOTE: PHONE NUMBER ABOVE IS WRONG correct number is (408) 542 1500
I talked to Rob on 3/24. He had received mail from John T. but still
had problems
He is trying to build a dual boot system (3.2 and 4.0) on 2 disks with
one set of licenses.
I told him to mount the 3.2 disk on the 4.0 system and then make a soft
link with /var/adm/lmf on the 4.0 disk pointing to /var/adm/lmf on the
3.2 disk.

Subject: [curley@isi.com: Re: license pak database]
Thank you for your response. I am still having some difficlty,
loading Digital Unix 4.0B on my system. Here is where I stand:
I am trying to load Digital Unix 4.0B on another disk on my
system (that is currently running 3.2 off one disk). I am loading
the 4.0 disk from scratch (CD).
I was able to tar off the lmf directory to floppy from the 3.2
O/S and restore it under the 4.0B O/S. The message I get when
I go to run level 2 is:
"Can't find an OSF-BASE, UNIX WORKSTATION or UNIX-SERVER license
PAK"
But, if I go into the lmf utility and do a list, it shows all
of my license paks as being enabled, kernel cache empty.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your assistance.
My PIN number is 701960.

Rob-
Your problem is "The kernal cache is empty". This cache must be loaded
from
the license data base.
You can do this manually with an lmf load command as described in the
lmf
man pages.
This loading is supposed to be done automatically on a system boot.
Perhaps
you did not reboot after transfering the data base or there may be some
other
problem such as ownership of the database file or directory.
my system(3.2c) shows
ls -l lmf
total 555

Try a reboot and/or lmf load command
