Previously I had registered one Workstation for a hobbyist license - it was on october 13, 2005 (with date of expiration 13 october 2006 for the license). Today I wanted to register one Alpha Server, but the licenses issued were with date of expiration 13 october 2006 too! Shouldn't it be 23 june 2007?
And a second (minor) issue - in the dropdown list there is no AlphaServer 1200. I choosed "unlisted server".
And one question - where should I look for the serial number on the AS1200? For the license I typed "12345"...

When you first registeras a hobbyist, you get an "anniverary date". Licenses will expire on your anniversary date. When you get within 1 month of the date, it's extended another year.

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.
