Hi there,
I've joined the UK HPUG and I've got my membership number. Using this I filled out the Hobbyist Registration form here: http://www.openvms.org/pages.php?page=Hobbyist Wednesday last week. The form seemed to submit correctly but I haven't heard anything since. Is the registration system working?
Thanks,
Ivan |

Hi folks,
I should report all is now well! Got my licenses last night... I'm not sure if this is because I filled out the form again:
http://www.openvms.org/pages.php?page=Hobbyist
And I also filled out this form:
http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registraton.php3
It was the 1st time I did the second one so that might have been what triggered it. This would imply a problem with the first form. Perhaps someone needs to check it's all working as expected?
Regards,
Ivan |

openvms.org is having platform issues and is in the process of being migrated to a more stable hardware/software platform.
Usually the license key e-mail shows up with in one business day or sooner. |

I am also having the same issue...
Have tried the http://www.openvms.org/pages.php?page=Hobbyist link twice and nothing received.
The other link appears dead: http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registraton.php3
Need license PAK urgently and no way of obtaining it!

Just did a test of http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registraton.php3 and it works fine.
You report as being "dead" and it is not. Also confirmed that the messages are getting to HP.
So...???
How can I help you?

Hi - thanks for the reply...
Just attempted to connect via my mobile phone over 3G and managed to get through!
Can't over my wifi - I know my firewall will allow access, so wondering if something may be happening at the ISP level!
I'll order via phone... thanks for your help. |

Is http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registraton.php3
still working?
Tried on 7-DEC-2014 at approx. 7:30 PM MT. Web page says request has been submitted but nothing came back to my e-mail. Checked spam folder, still nothing. What is typical time from request to seeing e-mail response? |

Less than 1 business day is the typical response. December 7th is a Sunday, so they should show up sometime today. |

I did use the registration form http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registraton.php3
Don't you have to provide the serial number of the system? |

Not necessarily. VAX and Alpha emulators do not have serial numbers. The Hobbyist license registration has an option covering this. |

I specified that I don't use any emulator but was not asked for any serial number. Last time (2012) I requested some license for my vaxstation 4000 VLC, I remember that I had to to provide S/N.
I'm a bit puzzled by the new registration form form. |

Typical time is less than 1 business day after submission. I have seen some reports of delays in answering and have no idea what is the cause. |

I am trying to get a license key from http://www.openvms.org/ but the site does not seem to be responding. Does anyone know who to contact in relation to this? |

On Twitter, there is a post from Ian Miller (involveld in the management of openvms.org):
"OpenVMS.Org web site has a serious problem and will be down for some time. 15/12/2014"
I'm desperately trying to get new licenses through the alternate link given in the thread here above, since one week without any success. May be you will be luckier?

I saw a report last week on comp.os.vms that http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registraton.php3 was having e-mail issues and Bill Pedersen had fixed the issue and resubmitted the requests. |

Does this mean I have to resubmit my initial request (circa 1 week ago) ? |

If you have not received anything in a week, then yes, resubmit.
ccsscorp.com was having some issues with their ISP. |

For the third time (since 4th of January) I submitted a new request (two days ago). Still don't have any answer.
Honnestly I don't know what to do to get my licenses. |
