HP provides the proper license type with the purchase of the system. Not all license types are available for every system model.

OpenVMS Alpha License Information

There are five types of OpenVMS licenses available on Alpha processors:

1.Operating System Base License (QL–MT1A*–6*) LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA

This license grants the right to noninteractive use of the remote batch, print, application, and computing ser- vices of the OpenVMS Alpha operating system on a single processor. This license authorizes one direct lo- gin for system management purposes only. For dual- processor systems (AlphaServer 8200, 8400 and Al- phaServer GS60, GS60E, and GS140), the base license for these specific systems grants the right to noninter- active use of the remote batch, print, application, and computing services of the OpenVMS Alpha operating system on a dual processor.

The Operating System Base License is a prerequisite for OpenVMS User Licenses and SMP Base Extension Licenses.

The Operating System Base License provides the right to use only the OpenVMS features of the current or prior versions of the OpenVMS Operating System.

For the AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and GS1280 sys- tems, the Base License part number does not include an SMP license for the first CPU. For these systems, an SMP Extension is required for each CPU, including the first. The Operating System Base License, in combina- tion with SMP Extensions, grants the right to use the operating system on a single, specified system model for purposes of executing remotely submitted requests for batch, print, and file services, as well as noninterac- tive display of information.

2.Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Base Extension License (QL–MT1A9–6*)

LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA

SMP Base Extensions extend the Operating System Base License to enable symmetric multiprocessing ca- pability on those OpenVMS Alpha systems that support SMP. SMP Base Extensions are permanently tied to the Operating System Base License and cannot be sepa- rated from the Operating System Base License if an SMP board is removed from the system.

SMP Extensions grant the right to use the same version of the operating system software as permitted for the corresponding Operating System Base License at the time when the SMP Extension is granted.

For the AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and GS1280 sys- tems, each dual SMP Extension to an Operating Sys- tem Base License grants the rights to an additional dual CPU system module. The required dual SMP licenses are bundled with each AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and GS1280 system board as an add-on part number.

3.Individual User License (QL–MT2A*–**) (No Longer Offered)

LMF Product Name: OpenVMS-ALPHA-USER

This license grants the right to interactive use of the OpenVMS Alpha operating system, provided the appro- priate Operating System Base License has been pre- viously installed on the OpenVMS Alpha system. The Individual User Licenses are available in any quantity desired or as an unlimited user license.

Individual User Licenses can be redesignated and may be installed and used on a single OpenVMS Alpha processor only. They may not be shared in a single OpenVMS Cluster environment. A user is defined as an individual who is logged in to an OpenVMS Alpha processor or is interactively using the operating system software by means other than a login.

This license grants the right to use the same version of the operating system software as permitted for the corresponding Operating System Base License at the time when the User License is installed.

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.
