HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 for Alpha and Integrity Servers

HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 for Alpha and Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.11
OpenVMS Alpha License Information
There are five types of OpenVMS licenses available on
Alpha processors:
1. Operating System Base License (QL–MT1A*–6*)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA
This license grants the right to noninteractive use of
the remote batch, print, application, and computing ser-
vices of the OpenVMS Alpha operating system on a
single processor. This license authorizes one direct lo-
gin for system management purposes only. For dual-
processor systems (AlphaServer 8200, 8400 and Al-
phaServer GS60, GS60E, and GS140), the base license
for these specific systems grants the right to noninter-
active use of the remote batch, print, application, and
computing services of the OpenVMS Alpha operating
system on a dual processor.
The Operating System Base License is a prerequisite
for OpenVMS User Licenses and SMP Base Extension
Licenses.
The Operating System Base License provides the right
to use only the OpenVMS features of the current or prior
versions of the OpenVMS Operating System.
For the AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and GS1280 sys-
tems, the Base License part number does not include
an SMP license for the first CPU. For these systems, an
SMP Extension is required for each CPU, including the
first. The Operating System Base License, in combina-
tion with SMP Extensions, grants the right to use the
operating system on a single, specified system model
for purposes of executing remotely submitted requests
for batch, print, and file services, as well as noninterac-
tive display of information.
2. Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Base Extension
License (QL–MT1A9–6*)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA
SMP Base Extensions extend the Operating System
Base License to enable symmetric multiprocessing ca-
pability on those OpenVMS Alpha systems that support
SMP. SMP Base Extensions are permanently tied to the
Operating System Base License and cannot be sepa-
rated from the Operating System Base License if an
SMP board is removed from the system.
SMP Extensions grant the right to use the same version
of the operating system software as permitted for the
corresponding Operating System Base License at the
time when the SMP Extension is granted.
For the AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and GS1280 sys-
tems, each dual SMP Extension to an Operating Sys-
tem Base License grants the rights to an additional dual
CPU system module. The required dual SMP licenses
are bundled with each AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and
GS1280 system board as an add-on part number.
3. Individual User License (QL–MT2A*–**)
(No Longer Offered)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA-USER
This license grants the right to interactive use of the
OpenVMS Alpha operating system, provided the appro-
priate Operating System Base License has been pre-
viously installed on the OpenVMS Alpha system. The
Individual User Licenses are available in any quantity
desired or as an unlimited user license.
Individual User Licenses can be redesignated and may
be installed and used on a single OpenVMS Alpha
processor only. They may not be shared in a single
OpenVMS Cluster environment. A user is defined as
an individual who is logged in to an OpenVMS Alpha
processor or is interactively using the operating system
software by means other than a login.
This license grants the right to use the same version
of the operating system software as permitted for the
corresponding Operating System Base License at the
time when the User License is installed.
4. OpenVMS Alpha Distributed Interactive User License
(QL–MT3A*–**)
(No Longer Offered)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA-ADL
This license grants the right to interactive use of the
OpenVMS Alpha operating system, provided the appro-
priate Operating System Base License has been pre-
viously installed on the Alpha system. The ADL Inter-
active User Licenses are concurrent-use licenses and
are available in any quantity desired except unlimited.
ADL Interactive User Licenses can be redesignated and
may be installed and used on a single OpenVMS Alpha
processor, or shared in a single OpenVMS Cluster en-
vironment.
A distributed interactive user is defined as an individual
who is logged in to an OpenVMS Alpha processor or
OpenVMS Cluster or is interactively using the operating
system software by means other than a login.
This license grants the right to use the same version
of the operating system software as permitted for the
corresponding Operating System Base License at the
time when the User License is installed.
5. OpenVMS Concurrent-Use License (for VAX and Al-
pha) (QL–MT3A*–3*)
LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA-ADL
This license grants the right to interactive use of the
OpenVMS operating system, provided the appropri-
ate OpenVMS Operating System Base License is in-
stalled on an OpenVMS VAX processor, and/or on
an OpenVMS Alpha processor, or on OpenVMS VAX
