Find someone in the university (It-department???) who fills in the 
registration from on http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvmsedu. He/she gets a 
school-id which can be shared with anyone in the university.
Request for licenses using this school-id should be made using a E-mail 
adress containing the domain of the university.

This procedure should be repeated every year in september.

(For the TU-Delft I am the contact person for the school-id)
