[Info-vax] question about VSI licensing

[Neil Rieck]

Colleagues,

Our OpenVMS I64 support agreement with HPE is about to expire and I'd like to move everything to VSI so I'm trying to build a business case that might be acceptable to management before I bug anyone at VSI sales. (my boss flatly refused my request last year)

HP/HPE required that every layered product be licensed (we have HP licenses for: OS, FMS, BASIC, C, C++) but I have observed that licensing relaxes every time the OpenVMS ecosystem transferred to a new company. So here's my question: do these layered products require individual VSI licenses or are they all covered by the OS license?
