An except of OpenVMS Sales response to my inquiry for a community license:

Hello,

Thank you for your request. Unfortunately community and ISV licenses for OpenVMS V9.2 are not available right now; we are working on them and will notify you when we start accepting submissions.

If you would like to order a commercial license, please contact our sales team at sales@vmssoftware.com.

Thank you,

VSI Community License Team


I’m actually super excited for this. I want to see modern tool chains on OpenVMS and I’ll be dedicating a box to this once the hobby program is open. I’ve used it on Vax and Alpha machines (sadly no longer working) and I’m excited to have another OpenVMS machine again!


Too bad that the "Get OpenVMS link" leads to a sales contact form and the hobbyist community license page is not updated yet. A trial download would have been so much better. I can't wait to get started on x86!


Still running VAX-11/725 VAX/VMS V7.4.

But I wait with bated breath for the OpenVMS 9.3.

Do intuitive error message still shows up like this:

   %JBOSS-W-File Not Found


> VSI is also planning on making OpenVMS V9.2 available to hobbyists as soon as more native compilers are available.

Looking forward to this
