DEC Software Media, Software License, Software Service, and Software Manual Order Codes
There are two formats whose use overlaps in time:
- 7-Character Format XXXXX-XX
- 9-Character Format XX-XXXXX-XX
The latter was introduced in 1988 for Software Products and Services for new processors while Software Products and Services for processors already introduced remained in the old 7-Character Format.
