  One OpenVMS Base License is required for the Galaxy sys-
  tem, plus one SMP Extension License for each CPU after the
  first CPU.

  4.1.2  OpenVMS Galaxy License
  In order to create and run multiple instances, one OpenVMS

  Galaxy License is required for each CPU in a Galaxy system.

  License rights for running a single-instance Galaxy on any
  Alpha system are provided by the OpenVMS Base License.

  4.1.3  OpenVMS Layered Products License
  Compaq software layered products on OpenVMS Galaxy con-
  figurations continue to use standard license types:  Traditional,

  Concurrent Use, and Personal Use.

  *   One Traditional capacity License will continue to li-
      cense the system, regardless of the number of instances.
      The license is based on the system class of the hardware
      system.

      concurrent use of the product.
