file and restart Networker. So, maybe, I suppose you could
rename/relocate all of the res files (directories and all) and still
work.

Pre 7.x it was even possible to run 'nsrcap -l' to create a complete nsr.res
file without all licensing. This way you would keep all configurations.
This is an undocumented feature AFAIK.

Hi Guys,

I have an issue at the moment which is driving us nuts, we have a new
customer on board and their Networker server was configured by someone
else in early decemeber, tru64 v5.1b 3 node cluster. They applied all of
the licenses on the nsr server, but didnt bother to go the extra mile
and authorize them, we received the systems on friday, found the lic's
all expired, so much so even a 'grace' only takes expiry to Dec 30th.
Our online licensing doesnt like the enabler code for the power edition
license, so we cant do it that way. Legato licensing have not responded
with the auth codes all week, and we do have a few local legato contacts
assisting in trying to get it done today, but licensing in the US is
closed for the day....and didnt respond yesterday etc etc....

My query is, with v6 it wasnt too difficult to remove the licenses etc
and get it back to an eval until the license auth codes became
available, but with v7.1 I dont want to try and remove the power edition
license in case the checksums/corruption causes networker to make me
have to do the whole reconfiguration again....anyone got some ideas on
how to get ALL the licenses off the system without losing everything
else, all the jukebox configs, DDS drives, client configs etc etc


Craig.
