Not sure if this is in the right section apologies if it is not. two old alpha 800 servers I wish to play around with. I joined the UK HPUG and obtained two licenses in 2007 but I never got around to installing it and they have expiredsmiley I paid £50 for the privilege of joining the group but they weren't really much use to me and only really sent me conference dates. I was also a member of the german group. My question is are there any free organisations I can join in order to obtain the hobbyist licences? I only really want to fiddle about with VMS. thanks in advance!

If you remember your membership id you may still be able to get the hobbyist license. AFAIK, once a number is added to the database it is never removed so you may still valid. Give it a try and see if it works.

Thanks I don't want to seem like a freeloader but £50 a year just to tinker seemed awfully expensive. I wouldn't mind giving a donation to a site like this where I actually get some help. Cheerssmiley

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.
