I'm trying to remember how to get a
OpenVMS/VAX Hobbyist license. I have

where to get the license.
Apply at:
http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registration.php3
or
http://www.openvms.org/hobbyist
So what does a Connect/Encompass "Explorer Member" enter in the
required "Membership Number" field of the form? If I have any sort of
membership number, that's news to me.
It's easier (and cheaper) to get your member number through DECUServe.
Just telnet to
decuserve.org, log in with the username REGISTRATION and
then follow the prompts. You'll end up with a DECUServe account on
their system named EISNER and you can get your member number by typing
HOBBYIST at the command prompt.
See the Hoffman Labs site page <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1416>
for steps.
Then once you have that number go to
<http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registration.php3> to register for
your OpenVMS license PAKS. They should arrive the next business day in
your email.
Fairly easy and totally cheap.
