Hi,

Below is the link on openVMS licensing.

What Steven, jpe and Ketan are referring to is entirely correct, but it's not congruent with the OpenVMS Hobbyist licensing implementation, nor is it how the hobbyists will typically encounter issues with software licensing, nor is it how a hobbyist can most easily resolve the usual triggers.

With the hobbyist license implementation, you (need to) request and download two separate files of PAKs, and you then invoke to each file to register and load the PAKs, reboot to reset the state of all software, and (if it all works) you're off and running.

it's commonplace for a new hobbyist user to request or to load just one of the sets of PAKs, and that would cause exactly these symptoms.
