Ah, ok.  I just got a rather generic e-mail entitled "Updates to VSI
Community License Program," not the personal one you got.  It occurs to
me I don't even have a current license since my applications in
September and October 2023 were never either accepted or rejected.  For
OpenVMS x86 I've been using the registration loophole where a prior
account on the service portal provides the ability to download a PAK.
If that's over then I guess I'm done.  I applied for this new vmdk thing
today and this time didn't even get an automated acknowledgement, so
it's looking like this one may be ignored like my previous two applications.
