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.
