Well, thanks to Mr VAXman, two modules have been retrieved. They show me 
how to extract the SMM numbers from SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:CPULOA.EXE with 
their human readable names, and how to tie these to license types in 
LMF$LURT.DAT.

However, my Alpha V8.3 LMF$LURT.DAT only has model numbers up to 1090, 
and certainly misses the 19xx numbers for let's say the GS80 Alpha's. 
Furthermore, CPULOA.EXE only contains names for VAX models.

So, exactly how was this mechanism transferred to Alpha? Or was it? It 
is not *necessary* for any system to contain this type of information 
about other systems. A system only has to look up it's own license 
information in the LURT. The information in CPULOA.EXE is redundant.

But, how does a GS80 (SMM 1967) find out how many license unit it needs? 
The info at licensing.hp.com must be present somewhere in the system, or 
so the documentation suggests (
