From what I can tell, the install of VMS and theF LICENSE REGISTER of VMS all went well. (The reason I'm mentioning thisB is: I don't know what VMS says when it's booted and the LICENSE is, invalid - maybe it double excepts at CPU 0.)  G I checked this group's correspondence and the closest thing I found was  Jan 10, 4:53 pm by Tom Crabtree  (http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.vms/browse_thread/thread/54134e495e95368d/cb5b5c51616da0d2?q=double+exception+from+CPU+0+&rnum=1#cb5b5c51616da0d2)  0 which didn't seem particularly applicable to me.   >From what I can see: ) - DRA0 (ALPHASYS) is the right boot disk. 5 - The system does say a "valid boot block was found". B - Not a lot of IO activity goes on before the exception (SBB light doesn't flash).   % Anyone got any ideas or suggestions ?    Chuck    ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2005 21:15:10 -0500 4 From: "Peter Weaver" <newsgroup@weaverconsulting.ca>$ Subject: Re: DUMP/OUTPUT strangeness7 Message-ID: <PmIrf.229$l87.33630@news20.bellglobal.com>   L "Phillip Helbig---remove CLOTHES to reply" <helbig@astro.multiCLOTHESvax.de>/ wrote in message news:dok3pp$m9v$1@online.de... 	 > If I do  >  >    $ DUMP *.HTML > $ > then I get what I expect.

In older versions of VMS you would have found the lastG file dumped in X.X;0, the second last would have been in X.X;-1 and the K first would have been in X.X;-0. But I just tried it on VMS 8.2 and all the K files were dumped in X.X;0. I'm not sure when it changed but a .COM I wrote ! 17-DEC-1985 doesn't work on V8.2.    ------------------------------    Date: 25 Dec 2005 11:12:11 -0800' From: "Schnootling" <chuckm@dis.wa.gov> @ Subject: Re: Unable to LICENSE REGISTER new VMS license on AlphaC Message-ID: <1135537931.117006.267130@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com>    Fellas,    Thanks for the advice.  A I Googled the DEFINE command. It seems that I need to replace the B string "VMS" with the name of my system disk (ALPHASYS or somesuch auto-generated thingee).  & I tried this, but got the same result.   So, my command was : DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC LMF$LICENSE, disk:[ALPHASYS$COMMON.SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB  6 I'd do a re-install of VMS if I thought it would help.  > My apologies if this is bugging you guys.

For H instance, when you installed VMS from CD, it would have prompted you forA the disk drive name on which to put the system. (the drive letter 1 usually begins with a D such as DUA0, DKA200 etc)   6 Also, you need disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB  D You can do a DIR disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE] and you should see a whole8 bunch of files there. If it, then your "disk"  is wrong.  G You can also do DIR disk:[000000]*.dir and this will give you a list of F the top level directories. You should see VMS$COMMON.DIR for instance.   ------------------------------    Date: 25 Dec 2005 15:40:12 -0800' From: "Schnootling" <chuckm@dis.wa.gov> @ Subject: Re: Unable to LICENSE REGISTER new VMS license on AlphaC Message-ID: <1135554012.259682.160840@o13g2000cwo.googlegroups.com>    Thanks JF, and everyone else,    I think it worked:  DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC LMF$LICENSE -' DRA0:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB   E By "think", I mean I didn't get any error message (or any message for 
