Speaking of license issues... Today wasn't the best of days for us and it all started somewhere around midnight (EDT). We suspect what happened was sometime around Mar. 27th, our former unix administrator was freeing up some physical disk space and move our /usr/ud subdirectory (UDTHOME). As most of you know, anytime this directory is moved, Unidata's license becomes--for whatever reason--corrupted forcing it to have to be relicensed within 30 days or 'udt' will stop running. Well, that's what happened to us, we think. We were fortunately able to recover by running 'confprod' and relicensing/authorizing Unidata. Redback on the other hand, different scenario and the guys at IBM who are reading this can probably vouch that I had a rough morning and early afternoon. Not so fortunate, the end resolution to our RedBack licensing issues was to reinstall RedBack...oh, did I mention this all happened in our prod environment!!
Ok, making a long story short, DO NOT move /usr/ud unless you absolutely know that you must relicense and if you unix administrator does this sort of thing to your U2 environment, slap his wrist. (stepping off my soap box now) Andy P.S. Could we let this thread die now? ;-) On 4/26/05, David Jordan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Craig > > I don't follow your issue.
