[Simh] loading file

[Mark Pizzolato]

The last PAKs I got for the hobbyist program came as a nice command file which you merely execute with @filename which in your case would be @lice.txt.

Glad you've made progress.

There is no 'y' in my name.

So post the full recipe that worked for you so that future folks can find it.

Type <CR> to the fields that your license doesn't contain.

I post to the list as text-only.  OE may insist on HTML.  Haven't used it in years.  Gave up on Outlook too.
Thunderbird is a better client.  And the price is right.

In any case, it's better to post to the list so that everyone benefits.

Yeah OE sucks sometimes but I'm not buying a windows OS. Thunderbird seemed complicated. i am probably just not used to it. I love firefox though.

I followed your suggestions
alloc cra0:
set card_reader cra0:/029
copy cra0: lic.txt

I am have a nice text file. Now to get it into the license registry. I guess the whole thing will have to go in for full access. VMS telnet and ftp may not work through a network connection with phase iv and my linux ethernet through simh. Because of license problems.

I followed Wilm's advice with the simh setup. C worked but continue didn't.

Is there a way you can recommend to load the PAKs into the license database?

Bill



@sys$update:vmslicense.com is the usual approach.

Or by hand

license register <product name> /Issuer=DEC /auth=
continuing with all the fields in the PAK

Then
license load <product name>

And you're done.
