I was running OpenVMS V6.2 on a VAXStation 4000-60. It
had an NAS 150 client license and was on a DECnet network.
I had to downgrade the OS to V5.5-2, and after completely
re-installing the OS from CD, I provided license PAKs for
OpenVMS Base, OpenVMS User, and NAS 150. The problem
is, I can no longer access DECnet, it says I need a
license.
Is it the case that the DECnet license became incorporated
with NAS with OpenVMS V6, and that previous to V6, a
separate license was required?

Re: (0003) Downward Compatibility of PAKs
NAS versions are generally OpenVMS-version dependent.
User-based licenses are first supported by V6.2 and later.
I would recommend acquiring and installing the VAXLMF03_061 ECO
from here: https://mirrors.pdp-11.ru/_vax__/_VMS/_ ... es/v5.5-2/. This ECO adds user-based licensing support for V5.5-2 and later, as well as updating the licensing group tables.
