Hello all,

I just installed OpenVMS under Personal Alpha and I have it up and running. However its giving out about licenses for tcpip and Decnet.
Is it possible for me to copy my existing Alpha 7.3 on a DS10 to run under personal Alpha or any other tool. The idea of finding licenses and reinstalling kilts does not appeal to me.

Any and all help is much appreciated.

Thanks, Niall

Hobby licenses are free and the keys easy to get.

http://www.vmshobbyist.org/licenses.php

The TCPIP and DECNET licenses are part of the layered product license set.

With the hobby license keys, only the VMS license is unique to the serial number. The layered product licenses keys that you request will always be the same, tracked the membership id used to request them.

thanks, I'll give this a try.

How do i find out my membership id. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Also, if i have no Decnet or TCPIP service running, how do i get the license on my system?

Thanks, Niall

You do have a terminal session up, like putty right? When you do that logon as system and whatever you set your password to, then copy and paste the licences into the putty session. The last line of each license may give you grief(it did for me) so you may need to paste it separately.

Then type show licenses and it will show you all the licenses that are loaded.

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?

I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner

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.

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