The question that will be answered when someone gets the VSI CLP PAKs is will those PAKS
work on an older version of OpenVMS? The Hobbyist PAKs produced by Compaq and HP have
always worked on current and older versions. Is there something in the License Manager
code that could limit it? The Hobbyist PAKS I have been getting for years all list DEC as
the Producer even through the Compaq and HP years. I suppose VSI could have engineered
OpenVMS and/or the PAKS with VSI as the Producer which would probably limit them to
working on VSI versions of OpenVMS.
No need to wait for that; I can answer that question right away; VSI's been selling
licenses for a while now. Yes, they have a different PRODUCER, so they will not work with
older (non-VSI) versions.
