Sadly that?s my assumption, if I?m right, it means I have one Alpha system that will be

one power supply). I?ve been planning to try and get one of my AlphaStation 200 4/233?s
back up and running as a workstation (small "low power? DECwindows, so good for my
office), but I?m pretty sure it won?t be supported.

I just applied for licenses, I?m curious to see
what software is included, and if it opens up a newer version of OpenVMS/Alpha than HP was
offering. I?m also wondering if these licenses will work with older versions of OpenVMS
(required for older Alpha?s).
I can answer this one.
Any license issued by VSI will be for a VSI version of VMS, therefore,
newer than anything from HPe.
VSI can not issue licenses for any HPe vresion of VMS so, no, these
licenses will not work for older versions of VMS.
