Beginning March 31, 2007, Sun is changing the way users will access Solaris 8 and 9 Software Updates (patches) to be consistent with
the way users access Solaris 10 Software Updates.

Users will still be required to have a Sun Online Account and accept a Software License Agreement in order to access any Software
Updates, but in addition users will be required to purchase a Solaris Subscription or Sun System Service Plan in order to access
Solaris 8 and 9 Software Updates.

No Solaris Subscription or Sun System Service Plan will be required for security patches and device drivers, which will remain
available without charge.
