I just tried to get a VAX licensee PAK, but got nothing but a blank email. Noticed that the date of the system sending the email is about 5 days out of date.

Well, the license emails are being sent again after not being sent for awhile, but they are still blank. No contents at all.

Can you find the "View Source" setting of your mail client and look at the message received. The license keys are shipped as a plain-text DCL command file.

What e-mail client are you using?
Any content filtering going on?

Encompasserve.org just renewed their license keys through the same e-mail system with no problems.

Can you try a different e-mail address, such as an encompasserve.org e-mail address?

If you have an account on encompasserve, you can use IMAP access from thunderbird to retrieve e-mail.

I just ordered a set of the layered products and it arrived fine.

I also sent your encompasserve.org account a message.

Can you use VMS MAIL account to look at the message that you received?

Yes, I got the VMS mail. I used to get PAKs just fine, but the last time I got one was 2002. Recently, I got interested in my DEC past and tried to renew my VMS hobbyist license, but can't seem to get a valid PAK via any of my email accounts.

No more VAX hobbyist licenses. Community licenses for Alpha/IA64/X86_64 VMS Software Inc. Commercial VMS software licenses for VAX available from HPE.

Just re-visiting.. No more hobbyist licenses? Is that from vmssoftware.com, no 'community' licenses?

Anyone know what happened to FAFNER.DYNDS.ORG? I had a hobbyist account here but can longer access the site.

At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.

New Hobbyist PAKs for VAX/VMS are no longer available according to reports. Only commercial licenses are reported to be for sale from HPE

Eisner, which is currently being moved, got an SSH update and the keys were updated to more modern encryption standards.
