- Andres Molnar has a VS 4000 VLC on which he'd like to have more than
- two logins. His local DIGITAL sales office says this can't be done.

- Hi, Andres. DIGITAL is not telling the whole truth about VAXstations.
- True, VMS does look at the hardware, notice that it is a VAXstation,
- and refuse to do more than two logins no matter what story you tell it
- about maximum interactive logins or the size of the license which you
- install. However, there is a license option which you may purchase (at
- least in the USA) from DIGITAL which will let you have up to 8 logins
- on a VAXstation. To purchase this option, you need to have the
- regional sales manager's approval. I imagine that will be a lot easier
- to get when you buy your first Sun SPARCstation since Sun doesn't
- count. This policy was announced in a CSO published in July, 1992. It
- has not been widely promoted since desk-side machines produce more revenue.

- Good luck,
