Morning list,
I am currently checking with my Oracle representative for the correct
situation, however, as I know it at the moment:
* If you buy any oracle product, you get a support id.
* You can use that support id to log support calls against the product you have
purchased a license and maintenance for, even if you never download the
software itself.
* The support id allows you to look up bugs etc in any Oracle product on MOS.
* You *may* be able to download patches using your support id - but I assume
(because I don't know) that you may be restricted to patches for your product.
A fellow DBA recently purchased a single user perpetual license for the Oracle
Access Manager (I think) for approximately £5 GBP. He received a support id and
is happily using MOS on the back of that support id.
However, since then, Oracle's shop has increased the minimum quantity required
to 5,000 - so the price is some a lot higher than £5.
I'll post back any information I get from Oracle.
Cheers,
Norman.
