Sun will typically make support available for a minimum of five (5) years after the Last Ship Date. Sun may elect to cease offering support for a specific Hardware or Software Products before the end of the five-year Sun Spectrum EOSL period. If this occurs, Sun will provide Customers with at least three months' notice of its plans to discontinue support. Sun documentation refers to the Sun Spectrum EOSL by month and year for Products, for example 7/2003. The last day of the applicable month is the Sun Spectrum EOSL Date for a given product. If Sun accelerates the End of SunSpectrum Service Life Date, then Sun's sole obligation regarding then existing support contracts will be to provide a pro-rata credit on the service contract line item Unfortunately this would be an extremely vague statement. Which by my read basically says Sun may or may not support the hardware for 5 years. note the line "existing support contracts" Simon Vass Technical Manager E-Tech Uganda Ltd http://www.etech.ug Tel: +256 (0) 312260620 or (0) 312260621 Email: [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Vass" <[email protected]> To: "Linux Users Group Uganda" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 24 June, 2009 17:37:22 GMT +03:00 Iraq Subject: Re: [LUG] Sun Support after End of Life Nah ignore me George long day, and an itchy return key.
