Used licenses for commercial purposes can be purchased. You'll find
them on places like eBay and via third party resellers. We buy ours
through Len Whitwer at PSDS
(<a href="http://www.psds.com/" eudora="autourl">www.psds.com</a>).
I don't know how far back you can get licenses.<br><br>

I'm looking for information on licensing VAX/VMS.<br>
Would it be possible to get a legal license to VMS 5.3?<br>
Are licenses tied to a particular machine or a particular<br>
time frame? If someone was selling an old VAX that<br>
ran VMS 5.3, would the license still be valid for that machine<br>
today? Would it still be valid after the sale?<br>
Would it be transferable to other hardware or even a simulator?<br><br>
