I got it mechanically so to speak to work but it gave me an error on
5.5-2. I am not sure if it is the version of VMS or not but I will try it
7.3 tomorrow and see if it works.

There are many ways to skin a cat. Some of these ways have
complicated steps and some have fewer.
The latest simh has support to simplify the import of licenses,
source code files and other data from the host system environment
using:
1) Extract the license files from the email you received
and save them somewhere in your local file system
(say Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT and
Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-I64.TXT)
2) Start the VAX simulator and enter this
command:
sim> ATTACH TQ -F ANSI-VMS Hobbyist-*
The command above Mark does not seem to work on my VMS at all. I
can get it to accept this,
att tq -F FIXED vmst /* vmst is a rename of the Hobbyist VA.TXT
license, tried the original name it didn't work either */
3) Boot VMS and login on the console and
then execute the
following commands:
$ MOUNT/OVER=ID MUA0:
$ @MUA0:Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT
The OS request I mount the following name,
mount /over=id _BUC$MUA0: /* That it takes but it doesn't work */
Ha I am stumped here. I can't remember what all the $ and : mean. And
the [] I think mean directory. The numbers after ; I remember are
version numbers and that's what purge is for.

The "HELP TQ ATTACH" command should help with more detail.
