Re: question on licensing messages.

Are you actually using the network feature, (one BRMS database with multiple machines) or just the base of BRMS?

Most often times I see folks load all three parts of BRMS when they only intend to use the base feature.

If you are not using the network feature (an excellent feature that is dirt cheap) with multiple instances of IBM i, then I would remove it from the system. I suspect you are not using it since the scratch tape pool would not be anywhere near accurate for each of your machines, and you would be having other issues.

Anyone else seen this? We have *NOMAX usage licensing for BRMS but we get
the message "Grace period expired" even though the proper license key is
installed. I'm just curious why I'd get the error message (I can still
use the BRMS software but the message is disturbing& annoying).
