mine ends in 301.


Hari from the HPE OpenVMS customer lab is the administrator of the hobbyist program.  He once told me that he maintains the program only out-of-hours and in his own time.  Without his efforts the programme may have ended sooner.

Be sure to thank him when you renew.

The email you receive with the PAKs should have your Hobbyist ID on it. These are tracked.  The final PAKs look like the authorization code is a date to me (pakgened on  March 1st).
