An ECO kit exists for the License Management Facility (LMF) for testing

through V7.1 and OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through 7.1-1H2.
o DIGITAL is pleased to provide the OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS
VAX LMF Y2000 Test Patch in support of Year 2000 testing.
The Test Patch is only required by a limited number of
customers who participate in special marketing programs
that issue "date limited" software PAKs.
- Overview
The OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch, together with the
OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test PAK, enable "date limited" DIGITAL
software product PAKs to be used in Year 2000 test
environments. The functionality enabled by the patch and
corresponding PAK is provided as a courtesy to DIGITAL
licensed customers for testing of DIGITAL software
products. This patch may be duplicated and used for
each CPU in a Year 2000 test environment.
- Who Needs the OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch and PAK?
Only a limited number of customers require the Y2000 Test
Patch and PAK. If you are setting up a Year 2000 testing
environment which includes software products for which you
have special program "date limited" PAKs issued by
DIGITAL, you will need the Y2000 Test Patch and PAK. Only
a single patch and PAK is required regardless of the
number of products being tested.
Most DIGITAL issued software license PAKs are NOT "date
limited" and, therefore, a Y2000 Test Patch and PAK is
NOT required.
To verify if your software product PAKs are "date
limited", check the "PAK Termination Date" field in the
system's LMF database. This can be checked by using one
of the following commands:
* For versions V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4:
LICENSE LIST/FULL
* For all other versions:
LICENSE LIST/FULL/TERMINATION=1-JAN-2000/BEFORE
NOTE: This command will specifically look for all
PAKS that are date limited. The /TERMINATION
and /BEFORE switches are not supported on
OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2*.
If the "PAK Termination Date" field is blank, your PAK is
NOT "date limited" and a Y2000 Test Patch and PAK is NOT
required. If a date prior to January 1, 2000 is printed
in this field, a Y2000 Test Patch and PAK IS required for
Year 2000 testing purposes.
- How does the OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch and PAK work?
* Scope: The OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch and PAK are
available for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, V6.2, and V7.1
and OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2,
V6.2-1H3, V7.1, V7.1-1H1 and V7.1-1H2.
* Applicable Products: The OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch
and PAK enable Year 2000 testing for DIGITAL software
products.
* Test Environment: The OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch
and PAK enable Year 2000 testing for DIGITAL
software products when the system clock(s) in
the test environment are set between January 1,
2000 and March 30, 2000. The release date and
termination date set on the LMF Y2000 Test PAK
will be:
- Release Date = December 30, 1999
- Termination Date = March 30, 2000
* To enable Year 2000 testing with "date limited" PAKs:
- Assure that the "date limited" PAKs are installed on
the test system (see loading restriction below).
- Register and load the Y2000 Test PAK in the license
database.
- Install the Y2000 Test Patch on the test system(s).
- Set the system clock to a date between December 30,
1999 and March 30, 2000.
- Upon completion of the above steps, any DIGITAL
software enabled with a "date limited" PAK will
continue to function for Year 2000 testing.
+ Loading restriction: Terminated licenses on the test
system cannot be loaded using the OpenVMS System
Management utility (SYSMAN) using normal SYSMAN
license commands. If SYSMAN must be used to load
the licenses, please use the SYSMAN>DO LICENSE LOAD
command instead of the SYSMAN> LICENSE LOAD command.
- How do I obtain the OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test PAK?
Y2000 Test PAKs, which enable the functionality of the
Y2000 Test Patch, are obtained by contacting the marketing
program office responsible for issuing the special
program "date limited" PAK. Additional information
and websites of the program offices can be obtained
through the DIGITAL Year 2000/Millennium Program
website at http://www.digital.com/year2000/.
