HP OpenVMS VAX Software Products Library
August 2010
5991-0426
Welcome to this quarter's OpenVMS VAX Software Products Library Package.
End of Software Products Library Shipments
While HP is committed to provide ongoing support for HP OpenVMS VAX, as
outlined at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/openvms_supportchart.html,
there are no further updates planned for the software products covered by
this package.
Therefore, the next shipment of the OpenVMS VAX Software Products Library
Package, planned for November 2010, will be the last one.
We recommend our customers keep the November media safe to have easy access
to the included Software Products in the future. In case replacement media
is required, it will be possible to order a package using the current product
number, QA-5G88A-H8.
In addition to the physical media, customers will also be able to download
equivalent content from the Software Products Library website, using the
instructions listed below.
The content will be available for download until May 31, 2012.
Please note that updates to the HP OpenVMS VAX Operating System are not
affected by this announcement and will be published and distributed as usual.
