Hi all, I am completely ignorant when it comes to VMS licensing and how it works (or worked). I purchased a MicroVAX that is running VMS V5.3. Do I need to worry about it ceasing to work at some point? I don’t have any paperwork for the license, just a running machine.
What should I know about this? 73 Eugene W2HX My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@w2hx/videos -----Original Message----- From: Antonio Carlini via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Sent: Sunday, March 31, 2024 6:29 PM To: cctalk@classiccmp.org Cc: Antonio Carlini <a.carl...@ntlworld.com> Subject: [cctalk] Re: Amoeba OS On 28/03/2024 23:29, Alexander Schreiber via cctalk wrote: > The only legal[0] workaround for VMS on VAX is to go back all the way > before LMF was introduced which IIRC means running VMS 4.4 and nothing > newer. It's no more legal than running VMS V6.1 without a valid PAK (that was legally transferred to you). The only difference is that you didn't have to subvert the LMF. > Sad and mildly irritating, but nothing we can do about it. This bit is true. -- Antonio Carlini anto...@acarlini.com
