When running an emulated system it is important to consider the different licensing aspects of the software involved.  Aside from operating system license for the host system there is also CHARON-AXP/SMA(+) and guest operating system licensing to consider.  The following sections include details of these licensing requirements.

Emulator Licensing

The CHARON-AXP/SMA(+) products are licensed using a USB Sentinel HASP (Hardware Against Software Piracy) key.  A valid and current key is required to run all CHARON-AXP/SMA(+) emulator products.  The table below describes the license part numbers for specific products, support and options in the CHARON-AXP/SMA(+) product line.

As well as maintaining the HP OpenVMS or Tru64 operating system licenses, there is also the requirement to obtain an operating system extension license.  For both Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Alpha the part numbers for these licenses are listed in the table below.

To use HP layered products on OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX it is also necessary to obtain layered product extension licenses.  The part number for these licenses are listed in the table below.

For costs, purchasing and definitive information on your specific requirements please contact Hewlett-Packard.  For other third-party software products, such as Oracle Rdb, please contact the vendor for further details on licensing their product on the CHARON-AXP/SMA(+) platform.
