          Dear Customer:

          This letter contains important information that will help you
          understand and use the VAX Distributed Name Service (DNS) V1.1
          and its documentation.


          Product Features

          DNS V1.1 supports VMS Versions 4.6, 4.7, and 5.0. DNS V1.1
          features are limited to the support of VMS Version 5.0 and the
          VMS License Management Facility (LMF). Please read the following
          information on VMS Version 5.0 for details.

          VMS Version 5.0 Information

          VMS Version 5.0 introduces the VMS License Management Facility
          (LMF) to Digital customers. In order to use a Digital software
          product on a VMS Version 5.0 system, customers are now required
          to register product license information in the system's license
          database. The DNS V1.1 product comes with a sheet of paper that
          lists its license information. For new customers, this document
          is called a License PAK (Product Authorization Key); For ex-
          isting DNS customers, this document is called a Service Update
          PAK (Product Authorization Key). Prior to installing the DNS
          V1.1 product, the customer must register the license information
          listed on the PAK into their system's license database using
          the LMF utility. Instructions for doing so are contained in the
          DNS Installation Guide and in the VMS License Management Utility
          Manual. These licensing procedures are true for all software
          products that support VMS Version 5.0 or later.

          Documentation

          cover to reflect the new packaging for Digital documentation.
