Hi

just wondering if there is problems issuing licenses, as I have tried twice to register for the various licenses available, following the registration process through giving the various details that are asked for and it says blah blah blah thanks for registering you were successful and your licenses will be emailed shortly but i never end up receiving any email with the license details . I'm pretty sure i'm not doing anything wrong while following the registration process as its fairly self explanitory. I'm trying to setup openvms on simh.

hope you might be able to shed some light on the situation

Regards,

Steven

Well, then it's not just me. I've made several attempts with no success (at one point I thought it might be spam filtering but another e-mail address didn't work either; then tried "SIMH" versus "NONE" as the serial numbers. Still nothing.)

I don't know if the license generation is automatic or manual; it may well be a manual process that's only run once a week or something.

Yes there was an issue with the license generation (a logical got messed up following an upgrade), and has been fixed. This is an automated process, so if you don't get something back within a few minutes, there's likely a problem.

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.

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.
