BROOKS@VCUVAX.BITNET (DANNY M. BROOKS) (07/22/88)
Our sites are receiving VMS 5.0, but no PAKs for DECnet (product authorization
keys). Our sales rep doesn't seem to know much about it, and hasn't been able
to tell us when we expect them or who we can expect them from.
To those sites who have put up 5.0: Did the PAKs arrive with VMS 5.0, or a
little later? Who at DEC do we contact? Colorado Springs told us to call our
local sales rep (big help!).
Thanks in advance,
Danny Brooks

The only part of VMS 5.0 I've received so far is the Product Authorization Key (PAK) (actually, the Service Update PAK [SUP]) for Decnet-VAX. The return address on the Software Bill of Materials is: Digital Equipment Corporation Digital Drive Westminster, Massachusetts 01473-0471 The option number is: QA-D05AA-WZ5.0 The option title is: DECNET-VAX F/FUNC UPD KIT The part number is: AV-LS78A-TE The part description is: DECNET VAX PROD AUTH KEY F/F The product name is: DVNETRTG The number of units is: 0 The Product Release Date is: 1-DEC-1990 > To those sites who have put up 5.0: Did the PAKs arrive with VMS 5.0, or a > little later?

If that doesn't get results, recursion seems appropriate.

I hate to say this, but the DECnet PAK was the *first* thing we got for VMS V5.0, and it came about 2 weeks ago, with a return address of: DEC, 10 Forbes Rd, Northboro Mass 01532-2597. I just got the distrubution for VMS V5.0 yesterday. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Youngdale YOUNGDALE%V6550C.DECNET@NRL.ARPA Code 6551 Naval Research Lab Washington, DC 20375 (202) 767-3276 ------------------------------------------------------------------

Our decnet PAK came first in a seperate envelope about a week before we got vms v5.0. I have a layered product that needed a PAK and i just called Colo. telephone support and they gave me a temporary PAK for 90 days. call them and say you need a temporary PAK. It worked for me.
