RE: [U2] [UD] License count update
I just used the 'stopsmm -r' command with version 6.1.10 on HP-UX and it worked as advertised for both a number of users licensed update and for an Authorization update. It certainly is nice to avoid the headaches a restart. My only comment is that if this handy way to bypass a restart has been around since 5.0.1, which I believe was GA in 2000, it should have it made it into the documentation by now, namely Installing and Licensing UniData 6.1 Products. We skipped version 5.0, going from 4.1 to 5.2, so we never saw that readme.

RE: [U2] [UD] License count update
I took the UD200 admin class a while back, and you could just do a kill -1 smm_pid and it would recognize the changes in licence availability .. This would also reset the MAX.USER count if you happend to set it to 0 to stop logins .. The class was probably on UD 6, so I'm not sure if it works on 5.x .. -CHuck -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 10:53 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] [UD] License count update I just used the 'stopsmm -r' command with version 6.1.10 on HP-UX and it worked as advertised for both a number of users licensed update and for an Authorization update.
