i know opendx doesn't use the license manager code (yea!) but for those people still in transition and using the product version, there may be a leap year related license bug.
a user reported to me that they have a transition key in /usr/lpp/dx/expiration which expires apr 12th. it's been working fine, but today if they start dx w/ no args, the startup screen is ok but then if they click on "new vis program" it hangs for 30 sec (looking for a lic manager i'd guess) and then tells him this version of dx expired today! when i try it here on a similiar setup i get the same thing except the UI tells me that i don't have a valid license and i can get a 5 minute demo session. but on the xterm where i started dx, i see the message saying my license is good until april 12th of this year. so the problem seems to be in the handoff of a license from startupui to dxui. there's an easy workaround - start it with 'dx -edit' and it's fine. i thought i'd post here in case anyone else w/ a product version of dx is seeing the same problem as well. nancy
