That's strange, I've been able to get access to their license and I did not have to give a particularly elaborate story/justification for them.
I do own a real Alpha system and pointed this fact out in my request, so maybe that helped?
- jasomill 4y agoI had no problem getting both Alpha and Itanium kits from VSI, after explaining that I planned to run on an Alpha emulator and a hypothetical Itanium box that I didn't actually own yet, but may someday acquire. So they're clearly not too picky about hardware ownership. They did initially suggest the student package to me as well, but after replying that I had prior VMS experience and would prefer to install and configure the system myself, they promptly issued my licenses.
- memetomancer 4y agoThanks, I gave up after the student package referral... which I guess worked as designed! Maybe now I will get some genuine hardware and take another shot.
