Not OP but I recently installed OpenVMS 7.3 on Simh following this guide [1], (ignoring the building Simh part) and it works like a charm.

What's the easiest way to get OpenVMS these days?

The official site is here:

http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/news.php

You can sign up as a hobbyist here:

http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registration.php

someone will email you in the next day or so with a license installer and the URLs to download the software.

Also they have the Alpha version of OpenVMS available.
