A group of DCE systems that work together and are administered as a unit is called a cell. Every system
within a DCE cell must run the DCE Runtime Services kit.
RPC supports the client/server model that characterizes many distributed applications. The DCE Runtime
Services kit provides such client/server applications the ability to interoperate over DECnet, TCP/IP, and
UDP/IP network protocols on the OpenVMS operating system. See the section titled SOFTWARE
REQUIREMENTS for additional details.
The right-to-use the DCE Runtime Services for OpenVMS is included as part of the OpenVMS Operating
System license. See the section titled SOFTWARE LICENSING for more detailed information.
