The last I heard, the licenses, with "units" for a workstation were about $1500 each. VMS Base, VMS User, DECWindows, UCX, . . . .

It adds up quickly!

Well, how many such boxes does one need for a decent service ?
I find it hard to imagine that the associated licenses would
exceed a low five digit figure.
(and, BTW, it is beyond my comprehension that commodity
stuff like DECwindows and a TCP/IP stack which have seen
little development for ages still are charged extra)
