    I have a fully functional VMS now to keep. But I'm going to create 
another VMS for trying to load a couple of liceneses into vmslicense.com 
This command file asks for "product". There is no "product" on my license 
file. I now see that is where "license register" is in the DCL command 
language. So when running @sys$update:vmslicense.com, I know what goes in 
product now. And it's not DEC.
