Unfortunately I downloaded one of these (OPENVMS-I64-EDUOE) onto my RX2600 running VMS 8.3 but it doesn't appear to be recognized, I get the "no VMS license active" errors when I boot VMS.

I presume VMS doesn't know to check for the "EDUOE" type license, is there a patch to enable this?

You should have a OPENVMS-I64-FOE, OPENVMS-I64-EOE or OPENVMS-I64-MCOE license -- I don't remember which, but any will authorize base OpenVMS I64 -- in the stash of licenses received. There was a brief discssion here, and the EDUOE Educational and (though I haven't looked for it) the HOE Hobbyist licenses would be for other vendors or other products that want to tie to into that license and into that environment as part of their licensing. If you don't have (at least) the FOE, EOE or MCOE license PAK around, you probably won't get anywhere useful.
