Yes, I can see now that they are different. If I can't find a license
tape I'll probably put on 5.5 which I have as well. In fact I have V1.0
on up. I'm running two Simh instances on each Raspberry Pi all clustered
and running DECnet and TCP/IP. I was hoping for a large mix of machines
and VMS versions so hopefully I can eventually find some early licenses.

Prior to v5.0, VAX/VMS didn’t use LMF, so as Antonio pointed out, you need a
license tape. While I saw these online a few years ago, I didn’t download them
at the time, and they don’t seem to be online anywhere.
Years ago, I got a MicroVAX 3 system running VAX/VMS 4.6 from an RD53. It
booted once, when I went to boot the 2nd time to back it up to a TK50, the RD53
died. :-( End result, it has OpenVMS 7.2 installed on a RA73 (and hasn’t been
booted in nearly 20 years).

Ok, I got a chance to login and try installing DECnet so I could reproduce the
error. This is the result of
trying to install without a license. VMS by itself does not complain.
If you have not already installed the DECnet-VAX license, then do so now.
After the license has been installed, you should invoke the procedure
SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM to startup DECnet-VAX with these changes.
(If the license is already installed) Do you want DECnet started? [YES]:

I'll try and extract just the DECnet license and install it on its own and see
what I get.

Hello,I have a current hobbyists license for OpenVMS 7.3 and a handful of
simulated VAXen. I wanted to add my simulated 11/780 and 11/782 to my DECnet
and wondered if there was a (legal of course) license workaround to install
networking on an older version such as 4.4. The current PAKS will not
work.Brian.
