OpenVMS Operating System for Alpha and VAX (Versions 7.1, 7.1–1H1, 7.1–1H2, and 7.1–2) SPD 41.87.06
This license grants the right to use the same version
of the operating system software as permitted for the
corresponding Operating System Base License at the
time when the User License is installed.
5. OpenVMS Concurrent Use License (for both VAX
and Alpha)
(QL–MT3A*–3*)
LMF Product Name: OPENVMS-ALPHA-ADL
This license grants the right to interactive use of the
OpenVMS operating system, provided the appropriate
OpenVMS Operating System Base License is installed
on an OpenVMS VAX processor, or on an OpenVMS
Alpha processor, or on OpenVMS VAX processors if
one of the five types of VAX VMS Licenses has been
previously installed on a VAX system. The OpenVMS
Concurrent Use Licenses are available in any quantity
desired except unlimited. OpenVMS Concurrent Use
Licenses are mobile (redesignatable) and may be in-
stalled and used on a single OpenVMS VAX or Open-
VMS Alpha processor, or shared in a single OpenVMS
VAXcluster, a single OpenVMS Cluster, or shared in a
mixed OpenVMS Cluster.
A user that enables a Concurrent Use License is de-
fined as an individual who is logged in to an OpenVMS
VAX processor, or an OpenVMS Alpha processor, or
an OpenVMS VAXcluster, or an OpenVMS Cluster, or
a mixed OpenVMS Cluster and/or is interactively us-
ing the OpenVMS operating system software by means
other than a login.
When an OpenVMS VAX SMP System upgrade is per-
formed, the SMP Extension to the OpenVMS Alpha Op-
erating System License permits the use of all existing
Distributed Interactive User Licenses on the upgraded
system.
The Operating System Base License provides the right
to use only the OpenVMS features of the current or prior
versions of the OpenVMS operating system.
This license grants the right to use the same version
of the operating system software as permitted for the
corresponding Operating System Base License at the
time when the User License is installed.
OpenVMS Alpha License Information
There are five types of OpenVMS licenses available on
Alpha processors.
1. Operating System Base License (QL–MT1A*–6*)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA
This license grants the right to noninteractive use of the
remote batch, print, application, and computing services
of the OpenVMS Alpha operating system on a single
processor. This license authorizes one direct login for
system management purposes only. For dual processor
systems (Compaq AlphaServer 8200, 8400 and the Al-
phaServer GS60, GS60E, and GS140), the base license
for these specific systems grants the right to noninter-
active use of the remote batch, print, application, and
computing services of the OpenVMS Alpha operating
system on a dual processor.
The Operating System Base License is a prerequisite
for OpenVMS User Licenses and SMP Base Extension
Licenses.
The Operating System Base License provides the right
to use only the OpenVMS features of the current or prior
versions of the OpenVMS Operating System.
2. Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Base Extension
License (QL–MT1A9–6*)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA
SMP Base Extensions extend the Operating System
Base License to enable symmetric multiprocessing ca-
pability on those OpenVMS Alpha systems supporting
SMP. SMP Base Extensions are permanently tied to the
Operating System Base License and may not be sep-
arated from the Operating System Base License if an
SMP board is removed from the system.
SMP Extensions grant the right to use the same version
of the operating system software as permitted for the
corresponding Operating System Base License at the
time when the SMP Extension is granted.
3. Individual User License (QL–MT2A*–**)
(No Longer Offered)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA-USER
This license grants the right to interactive use of the
OpenVMS Alpha operating system, provided the appro-
priate Operating System Base License has been pre-
viously installed on the OpenVMS Alpha system. The
Individual User Licenses are available in any quantity
desired or as an unlimited user license.
Individual User Licenses are redesignatable and may be
installed and used on a single OpenVMS Alpha proces-
sor only. They may not be shared in a single OpenVMS
Alpha OpenVMS Cluster environment. An Individual
user is defined as an user who is logged in an OpenVMS
Alpha processor or is interactively using the operating
system software by means other than a login.
This license grants the right to use the same version
of the operating system software as permitted for the
corresponding Operating System Base License at the
time when the User License is installed.
