### License Check

License checks, which have already been performed on UNIX systems, are now also performed on mainframes.

- If the license is valid, a success message will be recorded in the monitor log.

- If a warning occurs during the license check, the monitor will not be shut down. A log message `NOM0136` will be recorded, and an email message will be sent to the recipients as specified in the Monitor Defaults.

- If an error occurs during the license check, the monitor will be shut down. A log message `NOM0137` will be recorded, and an email message will be sent to the recipients as specified in the Monitor Defaults.

For further information on email message recipients, see Emergency Emails under Email Message Definitions.
