A buffer overrun means that your terminal emulator is attempting to send data to the emulated VMS system faster than it can take it.
This means when you pasted the text, the emulated VMS system could not read the characters sent to ti. It could be that the handshake problem with the terminal emulator and the emulated VMS system.
The work around is to paste sections of the license file.
Generally I enter just VMS, DECWINDOWS-MOTIF (MOTIF), DVNETEND, AND TCPIP or UCX, and that lets me get enough of the system up that I can use a network connection to copy the rest of the licenses over. |

I tried that, even manually, but (only) on AlphaVM I still get errors. It goes in overflow even with edt after pasting half line. I tried a number of terminals connections, so is not an issue with putty (default.)
$ $ LICENSE REGISTER OPENVMS-ALPHA /ISSUER=DEC /AUTHORIZATION=HOBBYIST-VA-KEY
3$ LICE
%RMS-F-RER, file read error
-SYSTEM-W-DATAOVERUN, data overrun
Anybody has any idea on a workaround on this ? It works just fine on simh and Charon FreeAXP.
Not an issue of host OS, does the same on RH6-64 and Win64.
I would have posted on their forum, if I could find it. I hope somebody has a workaround for this, before writing them:

I like their emulators, very nice.

There are two solutions to your problem:
1. Paste one line at a time. You can use "-" in DCL to split a command in multiple lines.
2. Set RxDelay to something like 10 in the AlphaVM COM port configuration tab. It will delay the reception of characters to make copy-paste work. |

I had the same issue, I tried putty and I tried securecrt
What I did is cut and paste the license bits for vms and tcpip to get them registered
Then when I had vms installed I got tcpip running and ftp'd the whole license file in and was able to run it directly which registered everything else fine
Yes, it did involve a bit of fiddling around initially but I got there in the end

You know, in the days of VT52s and VT100s the license were typed in by hand. It improves your typing skills! |

I solved this problem using tera term.
Tera term supports both telnet and serial ports. I've used this on both a vlc serial port and a telnet console under simh.
Open your OpenVMS license in notepad.
On the notepad menu bar select:
Edit->Select All
Edit->Copy
now start Tera Term and connect to your vax via TCP or serial port.
Login to your vax and type
$ CREATE LICENSE.TXT
On the Tera Term menu bar select:
Setup->Additional Settings...->Copy and Paste
Set the "paste delay" to 100ms and press "OK"
Again in Tera Term select:
Edit->Paste
When it finishes, press <ctrl>-Z and type:
$ @LICENSE.TXT

Currently I just type in the minimum license keys to get DECNET up, and then I copy stuff from one of the existing systems.
