    Modification Date:  21-MAY-1999
    Modification Type:  DOCUMENTATION:  Editorial Modification

    NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
           on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
           The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
           for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.

           Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
           by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
           be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
           can be used to install the ECO.

    ECO KIT SUMMARY:

    An ECO kit exists for the License Management Facility (LMF) for testing
    date limited Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2
    through V7.1 and OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through 7.1-1H2.

      o  DIGITAL is pleased to provide the OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS
         VAX LMF Y2000 Test Patch in support of Year 2000 testing.
         The Test Patch is only required by a limited number of
         customers who participate in special marketing programs
         that issue "date limited" software PAKs.

         -  Overview

            The OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch, together with the
            OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test PAK, enable "date limited" DIGITAL
            software product PAKs to be used in Year 2000 test
            environments.  The functionality enabled by the patch and
            corresponding PAK is provided as a courtesy to DIGITAL
            licensed customers for testing of DIGITAL software
            products.  This patch may be duplicated and used for
            each CPU in a Year 2000 test environment.

         -  Who Needs the OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch and PAK?

            Only a limited number of customers require the Y2000 Test
            Patch and PAK.  If you are setting up a Year 2000 testing
            environment which includes software products for which you
            have special program "date limited" PAKs issued by
            DIGITAL, you will need the Y2000 Test Patch and PAK.  Only
            a single patch and PAK is required regardless of the
            number of products being tested.

            Most DIGITAL issued software license PAKs are NOT "date
            limited" and, therefore, a Y2000 Test Patch and PAK is
            NOT required.

            To verify if your software product PAKs are "date
            limited", check the "PAK Termination Date" field in the
            system's LMF database.  This can be checked by using one
            of the following commands:

            *  For versions V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4:

               LICENSE LIST/FULL

            *  For all other versions:

                LICENSE LIST/FULL/TERMINATION=1-JAN-2000/BEFORE

                NOTE:  This command will specifically look for all
                       PAKS that are date limited.  The /TERMINATION
                       and /BEFORE switches are not supported on
                       OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2*.

            If the "PAK Termination Date" field is blank, your PAK is
            NOT "date limited" and a Y2000 Test Patch and PAK is NOT
            required.  If a date prior to January 1, 2000 is printed
            in this field, a Y2000 Test Patch and PAK IS required for
            Year 2000 testing purposes.

         -  How does the OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch and PAK work?

            *  Scope:  The OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch and PAK are
                       available for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, V6.2, and V7.1
                       and OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2,
                       V6.2-1H3, V7.1, V7.1-1H1 and V7.1-1H2.

            *  Applicable Products:  The OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch
                       and PAK enable Year 2000 testing for DIGITAL software
                       products.

            *  Test Environment:  The OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test Patch
                      and PAK enable Year 2000 testing for DIGITAL
                      software products when the system clock(s) in
                      the test environment are set between January 1,
                      2000 and March 30, 2000.  The release date and
                      termination date set on the LMF Y2000 Test PAK
                      will be:

                      - Release Date = December 30, 1999

                      - Termination Date = March 30, 2000

            *  To enable Year 2000 testing with "date limited" PAKs:

               -  Assure that the "date limited" PAKs are installed on
                  the test system (see loading restriction below).

               -  Register and load the Y2000 Test PAK in the license
                  database.

               -  Install the Y2000 Test Patch on the test system(s).

               -  Set the system clock to a date between December 30,
                  1999 and March 30, 2000.

               -  Upon completion of the above steps, any DIGITAL
                  software enabled with a "date limited" PAK will
                  continue to function for Year 2000 testing.

                  +  Loading restriction:  Terminated licenses on the test
                     system cannot be loaded using the OpenVMS System
                     Management utility (SYSMAN) using normal SYSMAN
                     license commands.  If SYSMAN must be used to load
                     the licenses, please use the SYSMAN>DO LICENSE LOAD
                     command instead of the SYSMAN> LICENSE LOAD command.

               -  How do I obtain the OpenVMS LMF Y2000 Test PAK?

                  Y2000 Test PAKs, which enable the functionality of the
                  Y2000 Test Patch, are obtained by contacting the marketing
                  program office responsible for issuing the special
                  program "date limited" PAK.  Additional information
                  and websites of the program offices can be obtained
                  through the DIGITAL Year 2000/Millennium Program
                  website at http://www.digital.com/year2000/.
