The question
that I have is:
Compaq, and now HP, say that all versions of VMS and layered are
licenseable under the Hobbyists system. I have a couple of machines on
which I'd rather run v5.5, or maybe v6.2.
Does anybody know how to get Hobbyist PAKs for the older versions?
Umm, I've been able to just load the 'new' PAK's that they provide on a
system running VMS 5.1 (and maybe the one running 5.3, but not sure I've
done that yet). Basically, the PAKs don't care what version of VMS you
have.
The Hobbyist licenses all use encoding method one for the
checksum, so they should work on any version of VMS with
LMF (unless a later version drops method one, which I don't
see happening).
