(seeing an delayed question about upgrading a 3200's 2-user license...)

Earlier this week DEC sent a memo to our salesman announcing a policy
change:  all VAXstations/Workstations would come with an 8 (eight!)
user license.  This is probably to compete with Sun's cheap multi-user lic.

The memo said it was "grandfathered" to orders placed before the date
of announcement, but did not go into detail as to whether existing
installations would be upgraded.

This may only apply to the "educational" market.  Ask your salespeople.
