The "nodelock" file is a text file containing "stanzas" of license
information.  Make a backup of the file have edit out the unnecessary
stanzas.

        Subject:        un-register licenses?


Hello!

Does anyone know if there is a way to un-register licenses to TSM without
recycling the server and/or deleting the nodelock file (which requires
registering ALL of the licenses again...I think)?   I ran into the known
apar where the 'register lic' command seemingly doesn't register licenses
(tried to verify by 'q license').  So, after running it twice, I decided
to
look at the nodelock file and viola!  there was 2X the number of licenses
that I wanted to register.  The 'q license' output still says that the
licenses haven't been updated, and we are getting thousands of the 'out of
compliance' messages in our actlog.   We are running TSM server code 4.2.2
for AIX.

Thanks in advance.
