DECnet License for older VAX VMS

Ok, I got a chance to login and try installing DECnet so I could 
reproduce the error. This is the result of

trying to install without a license. VMS by itself does not complain.

If you have not already installed the DECnet-VAX license, then do so now.

After the license has been installed, you should invoke the procedure
SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM to startup DECnet-VAX with these changes.

(If the license is already installed) Do you want DECnet started? [YES]:

%NCP-I-NMLRSP, listener response - Operation failure

%SYSTEM-F-NOLICENSE, operation requires software license

I'll try and extract just the DECnet license and install it on its own 
and see what I get.

I wanted to add my simulated 11/780 and 11/782 to my DECnet and wondered if there was a (legal of course) license workaround to install networking on an older version such as 4.4. The current PAKS will not work.Brian.
