1158.0. "Rdb runtime unbuldling" by IJSAPL::OLTHOF (Henny Olthof @UTO 838-2021) Tue Jun 02 1992 09:41

Hi,

I heared that the runtime licence of Rdb/VMS will be unbundled from the
operating system from July first 1992.

What implications does that have for existing and new customers?

This is NOT going to be discussed in an unrestricted notes conference.

	Hal, this conference *is* restricted.  Or did that change without
	my knowledge?   Of course, it may not be *sufficiently* restricted
	to allow discussion of this topic, but...

This conference has NEVER been restricted to members only.

	Not true, Hal.  I distinctly remember that I had to obtain access to
	it by sending mail to a moderator, and asking for membership.  That 
	was a few years back, however.  I think it may have been Andrew Watson 
	who was the moderator at that time (?)
1158.6It might have been a very long time agoCOOKIE::BERENSONLex mala, lex nullaMon Jun 22 1992 23:593
Maybe Brian, but I don't recall that.  There was also another conference
called DB_COMPETITIVE_HELP that might have been restricted (but I don't
recall that either).
1158.7I started this conference, and I'm not sure, but...BROKE::ASHELL::WATSONCount CountdownWed Jun 24 1992 17:2510
    Well, there a few beings on the planet with a worse memory than mine,
    but here are my blurred recollections...
    
    This conference has never been members only. There used to be a
    conference called something like DB_COMPETITIVE_HELP which was members
    only. The moderator was Mike Booth. He was also the main writer - it
    was more of a repository of competitive information than a place for
    questions and discussions.
    
    	Andrew.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NAS Integrated Products NAS 200/300/400 for VMS will be changed
this month. The announcement will occur Mid-July. The new content is
detailed in the Next note in a 132 column "NAS at a Glance".

Briefly:
      ---------------------------------------------- 
      |	Rdb/VMS RT is no longer licensed with VMS. | 
      ----------------------------------------------
	
	Rdb/VMS bits are still in the NAS 200 for VMS, but that does
	not have the same value it had when Rdb was in VMS, so it is
	no longer documented (but the kits have not changed so for now
	the bits are still there)

	Rdb/VMS license is now in NAS 300 and NAS 400 on VMS.

        Rdb/VMS Bits will continue to be included in NAS 300 and NAS 400.

	DECnet EN license is now in NAS 200 and NAS 300.

	DECnet Full Function License is now in NAS 400.

	New SPDs are expected to be available on July 17th.
