It should work with a few caveats:
1) The different hardware on the machines should not be a problem since
VMS configures itself dynamically each boot (you don't need a customized
vs. generic kernel like unix). The exception might be if one machine came
out after your version of VMS was introduced.
2) Licenses may not work across the machines, depending on what you're
doing for licenses. The hobby ones should be OK.
