3.9 Registering Licenses
Type of License Description
VAX VMS Licenses
File and Application Server
License
Provides for the noninteractive use of OpenVMS VAX. OpenVMS based
VAXservers are sold with a File and Application Server License.
The intent of an OpenVMS based VAXserver is to provide file, print,
application, and compute services to clients who have remotely
submitted their requests for these services. This license type also
allows one direct login for system management purposes only.
Additional interactive use of OpenVMS VAXservers licensed with
the File and Application Server License requires the addition of
an OpenVMS VAX User License
1
for one or more users. For more
information, refer to the description of the OpenVMS VAX Individual
User License later in this table.
