Sunsolve expired... help

Hello,

I freely admit I've not been a good boy and kept up to date.

I used to have a Sunsolve account - I had it years ago, when Solaris 8
was all the rage.  I don't even remember how I came to have it or how
much I paid, but it certainly allowed me to download patches etc using
PCA until last autumn, when I last updated my machines.   It's worked
for years and years, even after Oracle took over.

Just now I tried to login to sunsolve only to find it doesn't even
exist any more, and my old credentials don't work on the new page.

I'm due to patch a bunch of machines this weekend, and without a
sunsolve account, I'm going to be stuck.  I hear that Oracle are
painful to work with...

All I want is an entitlement to get patches.  I don't mind paying.  I
just want it quickly.  Anyone know the fastest route?  Any idea how
much it costs?

S.

If it's Sun hardware, it should be fairly cheap ($100-$300 per
machine); if it's non-Sun hardware it will be costly ($1000 per machine
for 1-2 sockets, more for additional sockets).

You may be able to buy entitlements for support via the Oracle web

Yep it's all Sun SPARC kit.

OK - looking at website.  Anyone know a friendly sales rep? :)

Artyukhin)
