Layered product license PAKs for Alpha and VAX are common for products
available
for the hobbyist program.  That may be the reason why they couldn't issue
non-expiring licenses for VAX - because they'd be non-expiring for Alpha
too!

A VAX-VMS license PAK without layered products would be useless (to me).
