Overview IS&T maintains and renews the license contract for legacy systems running HP’s Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating systems.

Benefits Renewing the contract allows participants to continue to use Fortran and C compilers and to timeshare their machine’s services. Consolidating license renewals into a single, annual purchase reduces the cost for each participant.
Key Features
  • The contract is renewed annually and is not prorated.
  • IS&T buys in bulk when there are more than two requests.
Requirements A BU-owned machine running one of these operating systems
Cost The cost of renewal is shared with others and decreases as the number of participants increases. One license costs $1,850, while up to 10 servers can be covered for $4,000.
