Yeah, perhaps I should have more strongly stated my "but I prefer how HPE did it point", because I agree the current VSI hobbyist program is useless to me. Hopefully by the time the current round of hobbyist licenses expire (HPE is now issuing one last round of hobbyist keys through Dec 31, 2021) VSI will have a better story for their hobbyist program for folks with old hardware (like me).
If not... VMS PAKs aren't hard to generate on your own. I always appreciated that HP provided a "legal" path, though.
Ok, I'll watch and see. I have a few old machines in the fleet which are kept running for some reason. They're mainly for fun from what I can see. Similar to the old quake server we used to have for "network testing" at the end of the day.
