I'm afraid I can't help, but I can share an anecdote: Friend walks into data center, happens to glance at system console, sees message in all caps: [BACKUP PRODUCT NAME] WILL EXPIRE IN 3 DAYS
He points to the screen, says something along the lines of "WTFingF??!" and the operator glances it, says "Oh, it always says that." Um, no. Rumor has it that operator is buried behind the data center. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Monday, June 9, 2025 3:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: How to track authcode or licenses for mf softwre I know this is a very old topic. But I have a need to try and better control when my software licenses are about to expire on the main frame. Does anybody have any recommendations other than an Excel spreadsheet to track them. Currently, as I recall, Not all vendor software gives me a display Command to know when they expire or provide me with a countdown message when they are 30 days from expiring.
