Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of WebSphere MQ who transition from a trial to production
  license.
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  When a user transitions from a trial license of WebSphere MQ to
  a production license using the setmqprd command, the registry
  was not updated to reflect the transition to production license.
  The LicenseType value in the registry still showed 'trial' even
  after a successful transition to production. Customers who have
  previously run setmqprd to convert from a trial to a
  production license must change the registry entry
  (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion
  \LicenseType) manually.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code for setmqprd was modified to alter the registry value
  of LicenseType to 'prod' after a successful transition to a
  production license.
