Hmm, this is something I'd like to find out too. I got ahold of an
older VAXStation (functional status unknown), and I was planning on
getting an OpenVMS hobbyist license for it once I got a monitor rigged
up and verify that it works. How does the whole licensing system work,
anyway? I've read the FAQ, and I'm not sure how one is supposed to get
ahold of the actual _software_. I just assumed that they had some sort
of a server that they would point you to when you registered for the
license.
