Joe,
Try this instead: DSPLICKEY SERIAL(*ALL). The default is *LOCAL.
I have 446 entries in
select count(*)
from qsys2.license_info;
Satid,
The most likely reason for so many is that this lpar has been around since V2R1 if not sooner and it has carried over the licenses over all these years. I just noticed license keys from V5R1, which I believe is when licenses started. If I was doing a migration I think I could add a license key for the new machine prior to the migration.

Dear Joe
DSPLICKEY displays entries from "license repository" that CAN contain license keys from other system or from SW products that are NOT installed in that IBM i LPAR/system. You may wonder why. The reason is that this license repository can be used to add license keys to other LPARs without a need to run ADDLICKEY command multiple times for each of all installed SW products. How to do this can be found in this Technote: Copying Licensed Keys Between LPARs in the Same IBM System i System at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/copying-licensed-keys-between-lpars-same-ibm-system-i-system.
LICENSE_INFO view should show entries relevant to the SW products installed in that LPAR/system.

Hi. Why would the command Dsplickey provide a different count of information than the view License_info?
For me, I count 43 rows of records with the Dsplickey report. But I only count 25 rows of records with the License_info view.
