Without a proper license key, I think the software is useless. It uses a XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
alpha-numeric Checksum. I think it?s tied in some way to the distribution ID. They use
their own licensing mechanism.
I just checked, I have a copy of the v5.0 ?WordPerfect Workbook for VAX/VMS Systems?, I?m
pretty sure I had more than just that book, but I?m not sure if I still do. The other
book(s) would likely give info on installation and licensing.
On a related note, was there ever a copy of dBase III or dBase IV for VAX/VMS? I know
there was a version of Lotus 1-2-3.

Hi,
This crossed my radar earlier today. I figured that someone on the
CCTalk mailing list might be interested in it.

I have a .tap image of WP 4.2 and 5.0 for VMS that I made from my own tape
years ago. The image has been successfully mounted but IIRC the software
looks for a license key that I've never found. I do not believe it is a PAK
as with other VMS packages. I can provide the image on request but I don't
want a post it publicly.
