I think some time ago, patches for older versions of Sun Studio were
available without the "Software" entitlement, but I just checked versions
12, 12.1 and 12.2 - for all of these the "Software" entitlement is required
now.
I have just a Solaris contract and can still download patches for Studio 12.
Obviously we had tried different architectures. I now tried these:
124863-26: Sun Studio 12: Patch for Sun C++ Compiler
124864-26: Sun Studio 12_x86: Patch for Sun C++ Compiler
The first one fails, the second one works. That's due to the different "Support
Level" required: For the SPARC patch it's "Software" (as expected), for the x86
patch it's "Software or Firmware". So as of now, an OS contract indeed suffices
to access the Studio 12 x86 patches. I've given up trying to understand this :)
