The OpenVMS Freeware V3.0 CD-ROM contains a software expiration mechanism
embedded in the freeware menu system. When the software expires, it
will return the following fatal error when the freeware menu is invoked:
Loading freeware Menu System...
*** Your INTOUCH license has expired. ***
%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
To suppress this license expiration and thus re-enable use of the
freeware menu subsystem, please set up the following two DCL symbols
immediately prior to invoking the freeware menu command procedure:
$ INT_ID1 := 51330359
$ INT_ID2 := 65029501
$ @DISK$FREEWAREV30:[FREEWARE]FREEWARE_MENU.COM
As an alternative to using the menu, you can directly access the
directories containing the desired freeware software on the freeware
CD-ROM, entirely bypassing the use of the menu. For example, to
access the directory containing OpenVMS logos, entire the command:
$ DIRECTORY DISK$FREEWAREV30:[VMS_LOGO]
In each directory, you will find the file FREEWARE_README.TXT, a file
that describes the contents of the particular directory.
You will also find listings of the contents of the freeware CD-ROM
in the file
DISK$FREEWAREV30:[000000]00FREEWARE_ABSTRACT.TXT;1
The expiration mechanism was unplanned and we apologize for any
inconvenience this has caused. This product expiration will be
disabled in the upcoming V4.0 release of the OpenVMS Freeware CD-ROM.
