"OpenVMS Hobbyist CD Media
The OpenVMS Hobbyist Kit V2.0 is currently available. You must be a member of
a participating DECUS/Encompass Chapter before you can order an OpenVMS
Hobbyist Kit. You can order the kits on-line via our web site, or via mail
order. At this time, OpenVMS VAX media kits are sold out. If you are still
interested in getting OpenVMS for your VAX, you may try borrowing a CD from a
friend, co-worker, local Encompass LUG, Ebay, or other places. Please note
that any OpenVMS distribution is legal to use with the Hobbyist Program (as
long as it's not stolen!)."
Does anyone have one or know an FTP site?
If one can get real DEC VMS CD's will the hobbyist license PAKs work or do
you need the hobbyist CD?

It's a two step process. If you're in the US, first you have to get
your Encompass membership <http://www.encompassus.org/>. There's a free
membership option available; well, it's free except for the bit of your
soul you give to HP's marketing folks. After some number of days they
mail a membership id. Then you wander over to the OpenVMS hobbyist site
<http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist/> with your id to redeem it for
valuable prizes! Or at least a set of hobbyist license codes.
Technically, or I guess legally, you're not supposed to share your
license with anyone.

Yes, any CDs should work so long as you have the appropriate
PAK. The hobbyist PAKs are ordinary PAKs except that they are time-limited
to one year, and they are unlimited use.

This sounds easy to misunderstand. Sounds like "limited
to one year Plus infinity". What am I missing?

Well my experience is that the PAKs will work with any official
DEC/Compaq/HP :-)
OpenVMS CDs....
