My licenses are due for renewall late april/early may. My concern is
that the new HP system won't be ready by then. And with Decus Canada no
longer functional, if they don't like my original decus number (from the
real decus days) which Montagar accepted, then what am I to do ?

This is why finding a way to patch the LMF to accept expired licences
should be a project that is undertaken now so that if HP doesn't come
through with their system, hobbyists won't have to shut down their VMS
system while waiting for HP's new system.
