A license key is required to perform a re-installation or upgrade installation of HDLM after the valid license period has expired.
To update the HDLM license, execute the dlnkmgr command's set -lic operation. The expiration time of the license key is determined by the type of license key specified in the license key file or entered by the user. For information on license key types and the set operation, see set (sets up the operating environment).
The HDLM manager is stopped during an upgrade installation. Therefore, when you perform an upgrade installation, stop any applications that require HDLM manager operations, such as a log output operation.
Because the HDLM manager is stopped during an upgrade installation, an error log will not be output. Also, you will not be able to set up HDLM functions. After the upgrade installation finishes successfully, immediately restart the host.
Do not cancel an upgrade installation.
The information set by the HDLM command's set operation is inherited even after a reinstallation or upgrade installation of HDLM.
Before re-installing HDLM, if the dlmperfinfo utility (utility for displaying HDLM performance information) is running, press Ctrl+C to stop the dlmperfinfo utility.
