I've burned up any urge to become frantic years ago :^) Licensing is fine on the machine. I've verified it as I accidentally invalidated it and had to obtain a new authorization code the other day.
The smm is running, just getting a failure on the udt command line so I suspect some system issues that need to be addressed. The system has been running for several years with no maintenance. I believe it has been accumulating maintenance issues and data transfers via odbc have become rather slow and cause some cross-department locking issues which is what I am working on addressing. Did you shut down the instrumentation service and the driver extension service that goes along with it? I suspect I will need to review and shut down all unnecessary services to find the culprit on this problem.

The device licensing is for being able to connect to the server multiple times from the same machine but only use 1 license. It won't prevent you from connecting from the console. Does it actually say it's licensed? Did you perhaps load UD locally about a month ago? If smm is not running then no-one would be able to connect. If it's a critical system I would expect you to be a lot more frantic. The service I've had problems with is "Windows Management Instrumentation Service;" however, it let UniData start on the reboot. A phantom simply lets the udt process run in the background. You will still need smm running. It's pretty easy to use: from the command line you simply enter "PHANTOM "command"" Note that the process will go through the login voc item and the process will abort if it stops to ask for input.
