The VAX licenses expired 12/31/21 and are no longer available. VSI has Alpha and Itanium licenses available for their versions of OpenVMS I believe.

I guess that HP does what their share holders expects.
HP doesn't care what a VAX hobbyist say. Probably correct...

Yes, they do. It's now called the community licence and can be found here:

https://vmssoftware.com/community/community-license/

To bypass any upcoming rounds of discussion with Bill, these licences
will indeed only work with the VSI versions of VMS. They will NOT work
with the HPE versions of VMS.

Sorry. But all those words are nonsense. The hobbyist program does not
continue. The fact that you have a workaround don't change the fact that
the hobbyist program from HP have stopped.

Please try to correct in your postings, and not only be bombastic and
self pompous.
