Subject: RE: OpenVMS hobbyist license
I am interested in obtaining the OpenVMS hobbyist
license, but I see
from your order from that it is SOLD OUT. Do you plan to have another
version available soon? If not, is there another way I can obtain an
OpenVMS license for hobbyist use? Thanks for any information you can
provide.
Licenses are still available, it's the media kit for VAX that is
sold out. I'm not sure when we'll get new ones in at this time.
However, you can still register for licenses and use borrowed media to
bring your VAX on-line. If you need an Alpha, we still have several
Alpha kits left.

Thanks for forwarding this info. to the list. When, or if, they get
'round to makine the distribution available again, hopefully they'll
make this software available on TK50 media as well. CD ROMs are nice,
although they aren't too useful to those without SCSI boards in their
VAXen. (yes, I know, I should purchase a VAXstation with SCSI :-) At
the very least, I should extract a spare Y power connector from a
PeeCee and use that to get power from a disk drive to a TK50 on my VAX
4000-200 and make a backup of the VMS 5.x that I already have. Then,
I could also make copies for others who need it. The one thing that
I'm not sure about at the moment is how to make a tape
bootable... time to read the on-line HELP pages.
