Software License Information (VAX Only)
The OpenVMS VAX operating system uses one of two
different categories of licenses depending on the hard-
ware and software configurations used and currently
supported. This information is also provided in the ap-
plicable country’s Price List.
These are the two categories of operating system li-
censes for OpenVMS VAX:
• VAX VMS Licensing
• OpenVMS VAX Licensing
System Support Services
Compaq provides the proper license type with the pur-
chase of the system. Not all license types are available
for every system model.
VAX VMS License Information
Note: Effective February 6, 1995, the VAX VMS
(UPI001) licenses no longer include the rights for the
Compaq Rdb Run-Time option for OpenVMS VAX, and
do not permit use of Rdb Runtime on prior versions of
OpenVMS VAX.
Each of the following licenses are for a specified hard-
ware system, which is either the system the license was
originally shipped with or the system on which the li-
cense was first used:
• Operating System Base License (QL–001**–**)
• Operating System User License for OpenVMS VAX
(QL–001**–**)
• Traditional License for OpenVMS VAX (QL–001**–**)
There are four types of VAX VMS licenses:
All use the LMF Product Name of: VAX-VMS
1. Traditional License (QL–001A*–**)
This type of license provides unlimited use to the users
on a defined system. VAX VMS traditional licenses are
sized to capacity according to system type.
2. Multi-User License (QL–001A*–**)
This type of license provides use according to a spec-
ified number of concurrent users. This is an activity-
based license. The Multi-User License provides the cus-
tomer with the right to use the operating system up to
the limit of users specified in the license. An operating
system user is a person who is logged in to the system
and is using the system interactively. This license is only
available on limited system models, primarily MicroVAX
and VAX 4000 systems.
The customer can increase interactive use of VAX sys-
tems licensed with the Multi-User License by the ad-
dition of OpenVMS User Licenses* (for one or more
users). Refer to the section on Ordering Information
for further information.
3. VAX VMS Workstation License (QL–001A*–**)
This type of license provides use for a single user on
a VAX workstation. This license type allows one direct
login for the single user and one additional login for sys-
tem management purposes only.
Additional interactive use of VAX workstations licensed
with the VAX VMS Workstation License requires the ad-
dition of an OpenVMS User License* (for one or more
users). Refer to the section on Ordering Information for
further information.
4. File and Application Server License (QL–001A*–**)
This type of license provides for the noninteractive use
of OpenVMS.
OpenVMS based VAXserver systems are sold with a
File and Application Server License. The intent of an
OpenVMS based VAXserver is to provide file, print, ap-
plication, and compute services to clients who have
submitted their requests remotely (for example via net-
work/remote submit/batch jobs, and so forth). This li-
cense type also allows one direct login for system man-
agement purposes only.
Additional interactive use of OpenVMS VAXserver sys-
tems licensed with the File and Application Server Li-
cense requires the addition of an OpenVMS User Li-
cense* (for one or more users). Refer to the section on
Ordering Information for further information.
