The Question is:

 
What's the difference between the following
license PAKS:
 
OPENVMS-ALPHA-USER
OPENVMS-ALPHA-ADL
OPENVMS-ALPHA
 
and
SLS-REMOTE
SLS-REMOTE-MGR
 
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  For specific information, please see the OpenVMS and Storage Library
  System (SLS) Software Product Description (SPD) documents.  The SPDs
  are referenced in the FAQ.  In general terms, here are the meanings
  of these and other common license PAKs:
 
OPENVMS-ALPHA
 
  Is the core OpenVMS operating system Product Authorization Key (PAK).
  It licenses various operating system functions as described in the
  SPD.  No interactive user logins are premitted by this PAK, though
  -- per the OpenVMS SPD -- one login is permitted specifically for
  system management purposes.
 
OPENVMS-ALPHA-USER
 
  Is an interactive user PAK, enabling an interactive user to log into
  and directly use the system. These are NO_SHARE so, in a cluster must
  be INCLUDEd to a specific node.
 
OPENVMS-ALPHA-ADL
 
  Is an OpenVMS Application Deployment License, and is the non-interactive
  equivalent to a user; a user that is running an application and that has
  no direct access to the OpenVMS command prompt nor to related features.
  Contrary to its naming and to the initial and original intent of this
  particular ADL mechanism, this license is also used as the cluster-wide
  interactive user license.
 
SLS-REMOTE
 
  Is a PAK for SLS (Storage Library System). This PAK enables the node as
  a remote client.
 
SLS-REMOTE-MGR
 
  Also for SLS, but this PAK enables management functions to be performed
  from the node.
 
UCX
 
  TCP/IP Services
 
DVNETEND
DVNETEXT
DVNETRTG
 
  These are various DECnet (Phase IV and DECnet-Plus) licenses.  Please
  see the DECnet Software Product Description (SPD) for details.
 
 
NET-APP-SUP-150
NET-APP-SUP-200
NET-APP-SUP-250
NET-APP-SUP-300
...
 
  Various aggregate licenses, known collectively as the NAS licenses.
  Specific NAS levels license specific groups of products.  Please
  see the NAS Software Product Description (SPD) for the details of
  the products licensed, as these vary.  (While you can potentially
  also see the product groups through OpenVMS commands, these OpenVMS
  definitions are superceded by the contents and product references in
  the NAS SPD.)
