Recent changes in HP's updates policy: More Information on Access to HP Support Materials Overview
HP designs, builds, and makes available a world-class knowledge base, powerful HP tools, and software and firmware downloads to its customers on a comprehensive range of HP's industry leading products. These HP support materials represent a significant investment and are a major part of the value of our customer support offerings. You are only allowed to download and use support materials for the specific products you've purchased for your environment and which are under warranty or support. The terms governing your use of support materials provided under warranty or support are set forth in the contracts under which you purchased the equipment or support, respectively. Such terms also include exclusions, customer responsibilities and further eligibility requirements. *Currently, you may only access entitled support materials in the HP Support Center if you have equipment under a warranty or support agreement. We have refined access to support materials in some areas and you will only be able to access a product's support materials if you have an active warranty or support agreement covering that product. *Over time, more areas in the HP Support Center will be similarly changed so that access to support materials is co-extensive to your warranty or support agreements entitlements. - - - So without an active support agreement, no more HP updates. Makes it more costly for those of us with a few aging servers who want to maintain current firmware updates, etc. Roger Wright ___ Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting!
