    I got my download link a few minutes ago.

    That link did not work for me, but https://www.unisys.com/offerings/clearpath-forward/clearpath-forward-products/clearpath-os-2200-software/clearpath-os-2200-express
    got me to where I wanted to be.
    One detail I wanted to clear before registering myself for the download,
    what are the hardware requirements? The system I'd be using is 10 years
    old, has an AMD Phenom processor running 64-bit Windows 10 with only 4GB
    of DDR3 memory.
    Disk space is probably not an issue but I'd need to make sure there as well.
    I could buy a new system but there is one piece of software on that old
    system which is uninstallable under Windows 10, it only works because
    the beast is an upgraded Windows 7 Professional machine. I only use
    part of that software's functionality and the fact that key functions
    are incompatible with the OS is not a problem.

    I don't know about ClearPath OS 2200 Express, but the MCP equivalent
    last I checked will not work on AMD, but requires Intel.

    I don't think any of that will be a problem, although it will probably
    run slower than on a more capacious system. Of course the best test is
    simply to try it, and since it is free, I would do that.

    Please let us know of your progress.

    I waited until I'd upgraded memory from 4G to 8G before applying. Then
    I got the download link almost immediately, returned the license
    application a day or so later and have now been meditating on the
    infinite since late last week.

    The key arrived a couple of hours ago and I have been testing. The next
    hurdle is that I'm going to try and load some Program Files I saved back
    in 2018, I saved them as exported FAS tapes (@DCOPY) and via CIFS.
