Yes, your DECUS number is a six-digit number delineated by dashes from the
rest of the PAK string.
The new install script should clean out your old PAKs. Unless they changed
it again. :-) But it worked fine the last time I updated PAKs on the
VAX-11 at LCM. I need to update my own 4000/300 one of these days soon....

Yes, I did get a large number of warning messages at
boot time. It's hard
to know exactly what they
are saying as they fly by.
I would like to renew my PAKS, is my DECUS number in the license file
somewhere? It's been a
decade since I powered up the vaxes and want to keep one, just for fun.

There is an old Vulcan saying: "Only Nixon could go to China."
I think they've fixed it with the new install
script, but once upon a time
old PAKs would hang around and give you a ton of warning messages on
bootup.
Also, even if you don't have the username and/or password, you can enter a
conversational boot at an attached terminal.

Quoting the site:
To register for DECUServe just Telnet to decuserve.org
<telnet://decuserve.decus.org>, use username *REGISTRATION*, and
follow the bouncing ball...
Best to telnet/ssh to eisner.decus.org. There are still DNS issues
with decuserve.org.
