SPD
Description
The Software Product Description (SPD) is the official defining
document for software products licensed by Digital Equipment
Corporation, including third-party products licensed by Digital.
An SPD describes all important functional characteristics of the
software. The terms and conditions under which the corporation
sells and licenses its software products identify SPDs as the
documents that specify Digital’s obligation under software
warranty.
SPDs also describe a software product’s system environment
and identify required and optional hardware and software. All
information contained in the SPD is valid in the international
marketplace.
For more information on the SPD for your operating system,
please contact your Digital sales representative.
