I was going to do some VAX VMS tinkering today and my hobbyist
licenses have expired.
I thought this is where I got the licenses last time around but now
the domain name appears to have expired:
http://www.openvmshobbyist.com
Anyone know anything about that? Is there somewhere else to get licenses now?

There's been a bit of traffic about it over on the comp.os.vms
newsgroup. As I understand it, the person who owns the domain name has
gone out of touch. The domain name has expired. The people running the
site have so far been unable to convince GoDaddy to let them do anything
about it, as they are not the owners of the name.
Have you poked about over at montagar.com? I believe the openvms
hobbyist domain name was a redirect to http://montagar.com/licenses.php

Not true. GoDaddy (and most registrars) have deals with domain speculators, and they get
first pick of expired domains.
That's why GoDaddy won't let just anyone renew the domain.

I just confirmed that this link works just fine http://montagar.com/licenses.php
In addition to a encompass or other accepted user group membership you need the cpu type
and serial number to get the license

http://www.vmshobbyist.com works and I understand that the HP OpenVMS web page will be
updated to reflect this change.
