done.
yes - it still has an expiry on it - 01-JAN-2022. there was discussion about no expiry on
the final licensing, but the HPE OpenVMS Hobbyist program didn't want to do this
because the business division was sold across to VSI and they didn't want it to affect
future sales of OpenVMS.
note that VSI didn't take over anything in relation to VAX.
cheers, Wiz!!

Any chance I could get a copy too? Is this still a time limited license or are they
opening up the final ones? I have Pakgen but I prefer to be ?official?.
Thanks
Ian

i had a discussion with the OpenVMS hobbyist team
in reference to the "final licensing" which they started handing out in March of
this year specifically in reference to this. this was their final round of licensing, and
while they wanted hobbyists to apply directly (for statistical reporting) they did agree
that it was ok to forward the licensing directly across to other individual hobbyists.
the final license is not unique to each person - it's the same license file for
everyone.
John - in a separate message i'll forward the licensing across to you.
May I ask that you forward a copy to me as well, if it's not too much trouble?
Thank you.
