593.0. "Loan OVMS user license?" by HGOV08::EDMONDLEUNG () Wed May 14 1997 11:51

    Hi,
    
    One of our customers asks whether we can loan them the user license 
    for OpenVMS on Alpha platform or not. Do we have any of this OVMS user
    license which we can loan to our custmers for test purpose?
    
    Thanks for any advise.

   A "Software Loan Of Products" is available in various DIGITAL regions.
   Most DIGITAL products have Loan-Of-Products part numbers.  For further
   information, policies, and practices, see:

	http://www.software.digital.com/
	http://pmd-wb.zko.dec.com/PIM/Activity/Software_Introduction/
		SIG-BusPractice.htm
	http://hotlnk.zko.dec.com/SNPC$PUBLIC/LOAN_EXCLUSIONS.TXT

   And specifically for OpenVMS, see part numbers:
	QL-MT1A9-LB
	QL-MT1A9-LD

   (It's the "L" character in the eighth position of a "QL" license part
   number that indicates a Loan-Of-Products license.)

   And, in general, see:

593.4Need more help!HGOV08::EDMONDLEUNGThu May 15 1997 11:3518
    Hi,
    
    It's difficult for us in Hong Kong to call US Software loan specialist
    because of the time different and I also understand that there is a
    loan part no. for each loanable product. 
    
    The probelm for me is I don't know what is the loan part no. for OVMS
    Alpha and I even don't know whether the user license for OVMS Alpha is
    loanable or not. I've used the normal order no. for OVMS user license
    with MT2 or MT3 UPI and with -LD/B at the end to search. However, I
    have not found the right loan part no. for OVMS Alpha user license.
    
    Can anyone tell what will be the loan part no. for OVMS user license or
    actually the user license for OVMS Alpha is not loanable?
    
    Thanks and rgds,
    Edmond

My understanding is that there is not a general procedure to loan operating
system licenses.

  Order the LB or LD part, as appropriate.  From the price file:

    1   QL-MT1A9-LB  OpenVMS Alpha BAS 30 DAY LOAN          SPECIAL
    2   QL-MT1A9-LD  OpenVMS Alpha BAS 60 DAY LOAN          SPECIAL

   I'd not expect you would need to order any user licenses with these,
   but you can confirm this with the U.S. Software Loan Program Manager,
   Darlene Crowling, at MKOTS3::CROWLING or AIMHI::CROWLING, DTN 264-4304.

    Darlene Crowling has moved to TAY and can be reached at 1800-DIGITAL. 
    I did not understand this was for a non-US customer.  The US program
    probably cannot provide the license to you, but can answer some
    questions for you.
