Decnet needed a license.
I think that probably the license manager is called as part of running any licensed
product before you can do anything.
If you want to verify that it’s a licensing issue run a version of VMS before V5 and
install Decnet. Licensing enforcement came out with version five so anything before that
is not enforced.

It doesn't specify the symbols, just states some or missing.
But I ran netconfig.com<http://netconfig.com> and specified the name and decnet
address and specified end-node.
When I run startnet I get the following (I ran this manually but got it from the
startnet.com<http://startnet.com> script):
NCP>set known circuit all
%NCP-W-OPEFAI, Operation failure
Circuit = SVA-0
%SYSTEM-F-NOLICENSE, operation requires software license
What license is needed for circuits?

Maybe you have the wrong install script?

I am playing around with VMS 5.4 on a simulated microvax 3100 and want to
get decnet running.
The install media I have found is for decnet 4.0 end-node but it doesn't
install. Vmsinstal complains
about symbols not being defined and I am guessing I have the wrong version
for VMS 5.4.
Does anyone know of a decnet version that will work on VMS 5.4? I can't
seem to find one.
Thanks,
