Actually it means the license is only good for that system, but you can
load another license for the other system, both licenses can co-exist on
the same system. The Current Hobbyist licenses cover ANY version of VMS
for VAX or Alpha, and 103 layered products.

I don't suppose you've got a Linux PC? Linux can have DECnet support
added. I suspect you've got DECnet on the VAX, and just need the license
PAK to activate it. If that is true, it would be possible to transfer
files to the VAX via DECnet.

It's pretty easy to add DECnet support, but it does require that you
recompile the Linux kernel.
