You mean the media pack for $20? That's not necessary, nor does it provide a license or entitlement for updates. That's just so you don't have to download the installation media. If you read the license terms of the download, you'll see there are several different ways to have entitlement. 90 day eval, personal use, educational use, commercial use ... etc. What's not totally clear is how to *obtain* those entitlements. Also, even if you somehow obtain one of these free entitlements, they don't necessarily give you access to updates. I suspect they're just not organized to provide entitlements for personal use and so forth. If you want a commercial entitlement, the path is clear. Pay for the support subscription. It's approx $450/yr, or $1200 for 3yrs. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
