O.K. looks like the RISC and VAXstations have different Ultrixes than "normal"
VAXS. There is, however, a so called license management facility lmf which
handles all kinds of licenses (at leas on our VAX).
Try typing (as root)       lmf list       and see what you get there. I get
something like:
# lmf list
Product                   Status                     Users: Total      Active

ULTRIX                    active                            16         6
DECNET-ULTRIX             active                            unlimited

If this doesn't apply to your system, then you realy must have something else
than we do.
