The ISO at winworldpc works great, as does the SimH VAXstation-II/GPX emulator. 5.5-2H4 DECwindows logon with the blue logo still looks cool!

    Well, the authorization code pretty clearly states what this
    license is:
    the final hobbyist license, presumably minted in 2020-03-01.

    So, on the one hand, it is basically not a personalized license.
    On the other
    hand, it expires on 2022-01-01 and is the final license, no more
    after that.
