It appears you're at United Health Group, right?

Given there are likely current licenses and software support through
your sponsor, the kits can generally be downloaded directly from HP via
access details that are provided with the contract paperwork, or you can
ring up the support center and ask for a kit or for a pointer and an
access password for the kit FTP site.

(I wouldn't think that your sponsor would want you installing random
downloads acquired from random sites around the network onto the OpenVMS
servers, either. That can be a recipe for getting hacked regardless of
the platform, and I'd expect most employers would be rather sensitive to
that sort of thing on what are usually business-critical servers and on
servers often filled with confidential information.)

The HP server farms or HP distribution kits are the best source for
products such as FMS, whether on physical media or downloaded from a
trusted server. And in this case, the old VMSINSTAL kits used by FMS
are not cryptographically signed.

Check with HP directly here, in other words.
