HP BA322 90087 - Manual (Page 85)

NOTE: When you initially purchase the OpenVMS software and license, HP provides a Product
Authorization Key (PAK) that is required to enable the License Management Facility (LMF) to
register the license and to validate and authorize subsequent use of the product. A PAK does
not provide license or new version rights. For more information about licensing and the License
Management Facility, see the HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
If you need an Update License, please contact your HP Sales representative.
4.3.3 Components You Choose Not to Install
If you choose not to install optional OpenVMS networking software (DECnet or TCP/IP) or the
DECwindows/Motif GUI during the upgrade, the upgrade procedure removes these products
from the system disk. Note that TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is installed automatically when
OpenVMS is installed by HP SIM provisioning. For information about checking for appropriate
versions of software on your system and for certain products requiring that you manually remove
older versions, see
Section 4.4 (page 85) .
NOTE: Unless you have specific reasons to do otherwise, HP recommends that you accept the
defaults and install all OpenVMS options. OpenVMS and layered products have various
dependencies on many of these options. Even if you think you do not need certain options, some
OpenVMS or layered product operations might not work correctly if other OpenVMS options
are not installed.
Note also that, for OpenVMS Integrity server installations, the availability of certain options
depends on the OE you have purchased. For more information, see the HP Operating Environments
for OpenVMS for Integrity Servers Software Product Description (SPD 82.34.xx).
4.3.4 Licenses and Layered Products
The upgrade procedure is designed so that you do not need to reinstall most layered products
after the upgrade. However, you might need to reinstall certain layered products because of
product-specific installation procedures.
The upgrade procedure leaves your OpenVMS license and layered product licenses intact. You
do not need to reinstall these licenses after you upgrade.
4.4 Software That Must Be Manually Removed
Before upgrading, if you are currently using DECram or TDC V2.0, these products must be
removed manually; otherwise, the upgrade might fail. For other information about software that
might need to be removed manually, see the HP OpenVMS Version 8.4 Release Notes.
NOTE: The OpenVMS Alpha upgrade procedure checks for older versions of SSL and removes
them if found.
4.4.1 Remove Older Versions of DECram for OpenVMS (Alpha Only)
Beginning with OpenVMS Version 8.2, DECram for OpenVMS becomes an integral part of the
OpenVMS operating system. Before upgrading to OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.4, you must
manually remove earlier versions of DECram for OpenVMS that were customer installed. The
upgrade procedure cannot remove DECram for OpenVMS automatically. If an old version of
DECram for OpenVMS is installed, the upgrade procedure might abort; if the upgrade does
complete, DECram for OpenVMS might cause errors or work improperly. This section explains
how to remove an older version of DECram for OpenVMS from your operating system.
