OpenVMS Galaxy Licensing Information In a Galaxy environment, the OPENVMS-GALAXY license units
are checked during system startup and whenever a CPU reassignment
between instances occurs.
If you attempt to start a CPU and there are insufficient OPENVMS-GALAXY
license units to support it, the CPU remains in the instance's configured
set but it is stopped. You can subsequently load the appropriate license
units and start the stopped CPU while the system is running.
For additional information on licensing, refer to
Installing Licenses of this manual and the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
