Good evening!

For I now have some more leisure time now, I'd like to start over with
OpenVMS on an Alpha server. The hardware is already on site, but: Where
to get the licenses and the OS? No, it doesn't need to be the latest
version...

I registered with hpe on www.hpe.com and filled in the "OpenVMS
Hobbyist Registration, but no avail. No response for a week now.

Furthermore I applied for the licenses on vmssoftware.com, no response
as well.

In general, is this the correct approach, or did I do something
wrong...?

V~

VSI has the "Community License" thing. Ask about that, or, look it up on their
web site. Don't expect instant response, they are quite busy.

Forget about HP, nothing there.

Thanks. So I'll be patient...

Oops. Good to know...

I would give it a week to 10 days before posting a query in the VSI forums
if you have not heard anything by then.

Do you have any spam filters in place that might have wrongly caught
a response from VSI ?
