How silly of me was to delete my licence!

My original question:

can anyone help me in this trouble? I have Alphaserver 2000 4/200. 
I deleted OSF-BASE-IMPLICIT-USER 2 user licence! How can I restore this 
licence? I do not have it printed. I only have System Licence OSF-BASE, 
but registering and loading it does not help.

Responses:
There are three methods of recovering this licence:

1. Reinstall from scratch (Oh, No!)

2. Execute script /sbin/it.d/bin/twouser

3. Restore /var/adm/lmf/ldb from backup.

Resetting lmf after loading OSF-BASE was  not helpful.
I also received a copy of this licence (thanks).

In fact I browsed through /var/adm/lmf/ldb_history (the binary file) and 
found a string that looked similar to Licence Checksum.
I produced licence file (from template) using this Checksum. After some 
manipulation of options, number of units, etc I got the proper licence for 
OSF-BASE-IMPLICIT-USER. Registering, loading, resetting ... and I still 
have my licence. Uff.

Thanks a lot
