I was pleased to read on the hobbyist FAQ that
you just need to keep
reregistering yer paks when they expire after 12 months.......
Why? Does VMS stop working? If so, surely there's a way to hack
around that problem. Seems to me that, somewhere around here, I have
some documentation pertaining solving that type of problem... :-)
LMF, and indeed the checksum that produces the licence codes we enter can
be easily cracked. There are a few people that've done it before. The real
issue is whether we really should all start using these cracked licences.
If we did, I feel that HPAQ would give up on the VMS hobbiest program
altogether and stem the free flow of upgrades and install disks.
Therefore, I registered with a DEC User Group that would take me and I get
my DEC licences every year. To show that there are people still out here
that support, use and appreciate the hobbiest program.
