CRTGRCKEY CREATE GRACE KEY TAATOLW |
The Create Grace Key command is designed for situations where the
user is not able to immediately contact the TAA Productivity Tools
owner for a valid key, but still needs to be operational for a few
days.
You should not attempt to use CRTGRCKEY if you can contact the TAA
Productivity Tools owner and receive a more permanent key.
You cannot use CRTGRCKEY if you have a valid license.
The typical situations where CRTGRCKEY makes sense to use are:
** A Disaster Recovery situation where the user is recovering on
a system which does not have a TAA Productivity Tools license.
Assume the disaster occurs after hours or on the weekend when
the user cannot contact the TAA Productivity Tools owner for a
more permanent key.
** The current license has expired, but the user needs to run
until he can get his new key. Assume the expiration occurs
after hours or on the weekend when the user cannot contact the
TAA Productivity Tools owner for a more permanent key.
To use CRTGRCKEY you must have *ALLOBJ authority. You would enter
the command (there are no parameters):
CRTGRCKEY
If the request is allowed, a prompt will appear that allows you to
confirm the request.
If a 'grace period' is granted, the period lasts until the system
date changes 7 times. On the seventh change, the license is
considered invalid and you must contact the TAA Productivity Tools
owner for a valid key.
CRTGRCKEY may only be used once on a system. You must receive new
media (a release or update) from the TAA Productivity Tools owner
before you can re-use CRTGRCKEY.
