Hello!
Remember gang stranger things have happened. Incidentally Dave despite
the fact that your still surrounded by yetis, they had nothing to do
with the problem.

Due to my arsing about, the virtual machine seems to think that its a totally different hardware set up, and therefore needs a license. I don't know how I managed that.

the simh instance to a new machine and giving it a new ip address?
That should have no effect on the licensing. The OS running under the
emulator has no access to that information; it thinks it's a real VAX.
Anyway, where do i get the licenses from again? All the addresses I had
either don't work, or give me completely unrelated websites.
If it is/was a Hobbyist license PAK, it must be renewed yearly.

The clock is showing the right time/date on both the Pi and the VAX instance. The licenses were due up on Sept 3rd. I've tried copying the old ones in (tedious!) but they don't work.

I've changed versions of simh, host OSes, host networking configurations and so forth and my licenses haven't yet expired.
Maybe his clock got knocked off?

Yes. It's two abstraction layers away from what changed, and one of those
layers (simh<->emulated system) is impenetrable by the guest OS.

Aye, it is for VMS. I only mentioned the IP address stuff as last time I
re-jigged my network I had the same problem and had to re-register it all.
I'll try contacting Mr. Egolf before doing anything else.

I assume this is for VMS? I can send you a license if needed.
