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.
