OpenVMS Layered Products License
HP software products that run on OpenVMS Galaxy
configurations continue to use standard license types:
Traditional, Concurrent Use, and Personal Use.
• One Traditional capacity License will continue to li-
cense the system, regardless of the number of in-
stances. The license is based on the system class

Clustering OpenVMS Galaxy Instances
Instances in an OpenVMS Galaxy computing environ-
ment can be clustered with other instances in a single
system, with instances in other Galaxy systems, or with
non-Galaxy systems. Each type of clustering has differ-
ent licensing requirements, as described in the following
sections.
Clustering within a Galaxy System
In an OpenVMS Galaxy computing environment, in-
stances can be clustered with other instances within a
Galaxy system. Clustered instances use the shared-
memory cluster interconnect to communicate with each
other.
The licensing and functionality for clustering within a
Galaxy system is provided under the OpenVMS Galaxy
License.
Clustering Outside a Galaxy System
Instances in an OpenVMS Galaxy computing envi-
ronment can be clustered with instances in another
OpenVMS Galaxy system or with cluster nodes in non-
Galaxy systems. Instances clustered outside of a
Galaxy system use traditional cluster interconnects.
Each system that is clustered with another system must
be licensed for OpenVMS Cluster Software. Clustering
outside the OpenVMS Galaxy system is not covered by
the OpenVMS Galaxy License.
