| Currently, the DECmcc SMS and EMS V1.0 kits are licensed such that
all of the included network management products must be run on the
same system. The NMCC/DECnet Monitor kernel could therefore not be
legally installed on another system (no right-to-copy for that UPI).
I've seen the VCS software accessed from the same display, but they
were not run on the same system. I don't know what the requirements
(disk, memory, I/O, ...) would be for that config, but it is possible.

| I would like to hear from others about this question of combined use of DECmcc
and VCS. Most of my customers have relatively small data centers. But, I'd
like to show them how they can better manage their total environment. I'd like
to sell them VCS, but they manage only one or two systems. And, I'd like to
sell them DECmcc, but their network is small, and in some cases may only consist
of terminal servers.
So, why am I interested in putting both products onto the same workstation?
Quite simply, to reduce the cost for using the products! Also, to show how
their "system" can be centrally managed by one person with the help of these
tools. In fact, the system manager would probably be using the workstation for
their daily tasks with the ability to easily pop an icon and check things out
or be alerted to a potential problem by an icon changing.
