The LICENSE Attribute

To verify the setting:

=INFO DISKFILE quarter1, DETAIL

The PERSISTENT attribute is set to ON, and user 2,18 can create this file with the
same access control list if it is purged.

The PERSISTENT attribute is associated with a file name. Because of this, persistent
protection is lost when you rename a file. The persistent protection record remains
associated with the original file name, which refers to a file that no longer exists.

The LICENSE Attribute

The LICENSE attribute applies only to disk files that contain object code.

Normally, only the super ID can run programs containing privileged code. By setting
the LICENSE attribute to ON, the super ID can license a file containing privileged code
so other users can run it. Only the super ID can license a file, but any owner of the file
can revoke the license.

You can use the special WHERE LICENSE option with most disk file commands to
select only licensed files. For example, the following command lists licensed files on
$DATA:

=INFO DISKFILE $data.*.*, WHERE LICENSE
