Are you unable to obtain a license through openvmshobbyist.org?

Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention: no one
will contact you about
the license expiration, but the PAKs won't work anymore.
You need to
apply for a renewal - same process as when you originally signed up.
Delete the old ones, or their expiration will continue to bug you.
Don't ask me how I know. :-) The LICENSE utility is your friend. --

Having repeatedly tried and failed to get a hobbyist licence in the UK,
for any amount of money, I've come to the conclusion that either DEC
really really dislike hobbyists or they actively want you to pirate
VMS.
