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?

What symbols? Can you show some here?
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,
