Source kit and fiche - None available for MicroVMS V4.1M - VMS V4.0 contains MicroVAX I support and when VMS V4.2 is done, it will contain the MicroVAX II support MicroVMS Licensing Strategy --------------------------- . New licensing procedure begins with MicroVMS V4.1M . Applies only to MicroVAX II (not to MicroVAX I) . MicroVMS is licensed and charged by number of users . License levels are: 1 - 2 users 1 - 8 users 1 - 16 users 1 - n users (unlimited) MicroVMS Licensing Strategy, cont. ---------------------------------- . Different license for each level . License kit includes: - Software key on RX50 or TK50 - Proof of Purchase letter - Cover letter . License upgrade kits available MicroVMS Licensing Strategy, cont. ---------------------------------- . What is a "user"? - A physically connected terminal - A terminal connected via LAT - A virtual terminal connected via DECnet . Once logged on, a "user" can create any number of detached processes, subprocesses or batch jobs, up to his allowed VMS quota MicroVMS Licensing Strategy, cont. ---------------------------------- . A VAXstation, which by definition is a single user system, is treated as a special case . A VAXstation user may create an unlimited number of windows, subject to system tuning parameters . MicroVMS license is included in VAXstation hardware system package
