QUESTION:                                                                       
In AIX v4.1 do I have to use a license manager?                                 
For example, if I have the following configuration:                             
I have a network of RS/6000s.  I'm using 7006-41Ws with the client              
bundle of AIX, OPEN/GL, GL & PEX, PHIGS installed to run the application        
IDEAS (or CAEDS).  I have a 7009-C10 running the server bundle acting           
as a nameserver.                                                               
Each time the people using the 7006-41Ws and access OPEN/GL or PHIGS,           
will the system go out every time these are accessed and check the              
license server.                                                                 
                                                                                
I guess what I'm really asking is what programs require to be verified          
by IFOR/LS that a user is allowed to have access?

A: According to Announcement Letter 294-445, 'OPENGL and GL 3.2 Version         
   4.1 for AIX', the OPENGL and GL products you desire can be obtained          
   by obtaining a one-time license for the above-mentioned product              
   (feature code 5696-939).  Both PEX and PHIGS are packaged together in        
   a second product (feature code 5696-907) and can also be purchased on        
   a one-time license basis.                                                   
                                                                                
   Since these products are licensed on a one-time basis, no license            
   server will be required to use them.                                         
                                                                                
   For more information please refer to Announcement Letters 294-445 and        
   294-446.
