SOFTWARE LICENSING

The OpenVMS operating system software is furnished under the licensing provisions of HP’s Standard Terms and Conditions.

License Management Facility Support

The OpenVMS operating system supports the OpenVMS License Management Facility (LMF).

If an OpenVMS license is not registered and activated using LMF, only a single login is permitted for sys- tem management purposes through the system console (OPA0:).

Some of the OpenVMS license types are based on the number of concurrent users, called an activity license. Every product has the option to define an activity as re- lated to the LMF. OpenVMS Interactive User and ADL Interactive User Licenses define the number of concur- rent users who have activity licenses as defined by the LMF. OpenVMS defines activities, sometimes referred to as an OpenVMS user, as follows:

Each remote terminal connection is considered an activity. This is true even if users set host to their local nodes (SET HOST 0).

Each connection from a terminal server is considered an activity.

A multiple-window session on a workstation is con- sidered one activity, regardless of the number of win- dows.

A batch job is not considered an activity.

A remote network connection (a connection other than a remote terminal connection) is not considered an activity.

For more information about HP’s licensing terms and policies, contact your HP account representative.

Software License Information (OpenVMS for In- tegrity Servers Only)

OpenVMS for Integrity servers is offered with a Per- Processor Core License (PCL). OpenVMS for Integrity servers licenses are also packaged differently, using Op- erating Environment (OE) bundles. The License Man- agement Facility (LMF) has been updated to support these changes.

The OE bundles are groups of individual products of- fered together under a single license. OEs are offered with PCLs. One PCL is required for each active pro- cessor core in the system or hard partition. If additional processor cores are later added to the system or hard partition, each requires an additional PCL.

An OE license grants the right to use all the components included in the specified OE.

For OpenVMS for Integrity servers, once a customer purchases a new license, the only way the customer can obtain rights to new versions of the product are:

• Through a Support Agreement

OpenVMS I64 Operating Systems specifications

HP OpenVMS I64 is a robust operating system originally developed by Digital Equipment Corporation and later acquired by Hewlett-Packard. It stands for "Open Virtual Memory System" and is designed to run on Intel Itanium (I64) architecture, offering high reliability and performance for mission-critical applications.

One of the defining features of OpenVMS is its focus on availability and fault tolerance. It supports clustering, allowing multiple nodes to function together as a single system. This feature ensures that if one node fails, others can continue processing, minimizing downtime. Furthermore, OpenVMS employs a sophisticated method of process management, enabling the efficient handling of multiple tasks and processes simultaneously.

Security is a paramount characteristic of OpenVMS. The system implements a multi-layered security architecture, encompassing user authentication, access controls, and logging features that protect against unauthorized access. It also offers role-based access control, which streamlines permissions and bolsters overall system security.

OpenVMS is compatible with various programming languages and development tools, which makes it a versatile choice for developers. It supports languages like C, C++, COBOL, and Pascal, as well as development environments that facilitate the creation of sophisticated applications. Its comprehensive suite of development and debugging tools enhances productivity and ease of use for software engineers.

Another notable feature is its support for legacy applications. OpenVMS provides compatibility with older systems, allowing organizations to modernize their infrastructure without losing valuable investments in legacy code. This backward compatibility is vital for enterprises that require long-term system integrity and data consistency.

The operating system also features an advanced file system known as the Virtual Memory System (VMS) file system, which supports a variety of file types and efficient data management. The system is designed for high-performance I/O operations, which is crucial for applications that require quick data access and processing.

In terms of networking, OpenVMS supports a range of communication protocols, making it suitable for integration into complex networked environments. Its TCP/IP stack enables seamless connectivity with other platforms, facilitating collaboration in mixed environments.

Overall, HP OpenVMS I64 stands out for its reliability, security, and performance, making it an ideal choice for enterprises demanding a robust operating environment capable of handling their critical workloads. Its combination of advanced features and software support ensures that organizations can continue to innovate while relying on a stable foundation.
