Find the procedure to dump the licenses, then use TCP/IP to FTP the
resulting file to another system. The UCX and Multinet licenses mean
it's using either the DEC or Multinet TCP stack.
What is special about these is that they'll allow you to run your
system without worrying about your OS or network licences expiring.
You get get the Hobbyist licenses, but they expire each year and are
a pain to reinstall if your os and network licenses expire.

Ok, I got the password changed.
Did a license lookup and got the following:
units avail activ
base-vms-(6 numbers) 60 0 a
dvnetend 230 e 0
openvms-alpha-adl 800 0 100
ucx 200 f 0
multinet 200 f 0
(multinet is from a company other then DEC)
Anything special about any of those? Where can I save them to? Do
you need drivers for a SCSI zip drive? Once dumped can a PC or a Mac
read the format on the disk?
Can I install v7.3 on top of 7.1 without screwing anything up and
without losing the license?

And to answer one of your smaller questions: DHCP was not introduced
until 7.3 (the current and last VAX distribution). Also, you can
get an AUI to twisted-pair converter cheap on ePay or elsewhere.
To log in without the current user password, look for
"conversational boot" in either the VMS FAQ or (I think) on Hoff's
site.
Sounds like a great box. Enjoy! -- Ian

If you need to get fresh licenses and media for
VMS and a number of compilers
and other fun "layered products," you should check out the OpenVMS Hobbyist
Once you get in, do a "SHOW LICE", if it has licenses installed. If it
does, you might want to save them.
