Emulators prolong the usability of HP OpenVMS VAX, MicroVAX, single- and multi-CPU AlphaServer applications by enabling them to be transferred to new hardware platforms without any conversion effort. Examples of emulators include AlphaVM,AlphaVM-PRo, AlphaVM-Ultra, Charon-AXP and VTAlpha by Vere Technologies.
HP Services supports HP OpenVMS software on emulators running on HP systems only. Existing software service contracts are valid on supported OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha AXP applications running on the appropriate emulator. HP fixes software problems if they are also seen in the comparable VAX or Alpha AXP environment.
The extension licenses described below are also required when transferring licenses to any emulators that have passed the standard qualification tests for emulation of VAX and Alpha. Standard support services are available for the OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX operating systems and layered software running on any qualified emulator. Support for emulators is not available from HP, but may be available from the emulator provider.
