FWIW, I've been running simh for ages and periodically I forget to renew my hobbyist licenses before they expire. It happened again just last week. I usually go through the following song and dance routine in this scenario:
1. Get new hobbyist licenses in attached .COM file 2. Transfer from Windows (where my mail lives) to Linux (where everything fun occurs) 3. Run "dos2unix" to replace DOS line endings with Unix line endings 4. Working on side-by-side windows, find the "VAX-VMS" and "UCX" licenses in the file ... 5. ... and manually enter the LICENSE REGISTER and LICENSE LOAD commands on the VAX console 6. Use FTP to transfer the file from Linux to VMS (remember to use ASCII mode!!) 7. Execute the full script to load all of the other licenses (and harmlessly barf on the two you did manually) Cheers, Scott DXC Technology Company - Headquarters: 1775 Tysons Boulevard, Tysons, Virginia 22102, USA.
