4. OpenVMS Alpha Distributed Interactive User License
(QL–MT3A*–**)
(No Longer Offered)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA-ADL
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 an Alpha system. The ADL Inter-
active User Licenses are concurrent use licenses and
are available in any quantity desired except unlimited.
ADL Interactive User Licenses are redesignatable and
may be installed and used on a single OpenVMS Alpha
processor, or shared in a single OpenVMS Cluster en-
vironment.
A distributed interactive user is defined as an individual
who is logged in to an OpenVMS Alpha processor or
OpenVMS Cluster 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.
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 in installed
on an OpenVMS VAX processor, and/or on an Open-
VMS Alpha processor, or on OpenVMS VAX proces-
sors 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 Concur-
rent Use Licenses are mobile (redesignatable) and may
be installed and used on a single OpenVMS VAX or
OpenVMS Alpha processor, or shared in a single Open-
VMS 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 Alpha SMP System upgrade is performed, the
SMP Base Extension to the OpenVMS Alpha Operat-
ing System License permits the use of all existing User
Licenses on the upgraded 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.
License Management Facility Support
The OpenVMS operating system supports Compaq’s Li-
cense Management Facility (LMF).
If an OpenVMS license is not registered and activated
using LMF, only a single login is permitted for sys-
tem management purposes through the system console
(OPA0:).
Several of the VAX VMS and OpenVMS VAX license
types are based on the number of concurrent users,
called an activity license. Every product has the option
to define an activity as related to the LMF. OpenVMS
Interactive User and ADL Interactive User Licenses de-
fine the number of concurrent users that are activity li-
censes as defined by the LMF. OpenVMS defines ac-
tivities, sometimes referred to as an OpenVMS user, as
follows:
• Each remote terminal connection is considered an
activity. This is true even if users set host to their
local nodes (SET HOST 0).
• Each connection from a terminal server is considered
an activity.
• A multiple-window session on a workstation is con-
sidered one activity, regardless of the number of win-
dows.
• A batch job is not considered an activity.
• A remote network connection (a connection other
than a remote terminal connection) is not considered
an activity.
