All Hobbyist VMS licenses are good for 1 year from the
date they are
issued. They must then be renewed. All layered products (each with their
own license) are also 1 year licenses but my experience has been that they
are 1 yr from your last renewel. So if you request them with 1 month to go
on your DECUS^h^h^h^h^hEncompass membership they expire in one month.
I've had a different result in that I was getting licenses with an expired
membership, in fact one that had been expired for over a year! Of course
my Eisner account was still active as well, so maybe that was all part of
the decay of DECUS before becoming Encompass.
