PowerHouse licensing

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day Richard

The 'hobbyist' license through DECUS has been available in the USA for about
2 or 3 years now.  It started in Europe, at least in the UK, last year.  

If you are a DECUS member (free), you can order the OpenVMS and freeware CDs
from Montegar.  The link is at the DECUS web site as is info about the hobby
license.  It cost me USD30 shipped to my door.  Both VAX and AXP variants
are available and it covers versions 7.2, 7.1 and last I heard 6.2.

Regards,

Blue

Have things changed on VMS licensing? Although cheap
Vaxen have been available for a long time, multi-thousand
dollar VMS fees had kept them out of "hobby" range for
most working stiffs.
