How difficult is it to patch the LMF system to accept expired licenses ?

So, my remaining VMS nodes will have to perpetually remain in 2011.

Who within HP is going to be handling this ? Do they even intent to
write a letter explaining the changes and when the new system will be
available ?

Will they take Mt Cathey's database of valid decus numbers and hnour
existing members forever (as we had been promised) ?



On the other hand, perhaps HP intends to open source VMS and we won't
need to renew those licences anymore, they will just have a system to
grant permanent licnces.
