Paying Oracle customers don't get anything more recent either unless you have an extra LTSS support contract which costs a lot of money. Yeah .. I had that. Nope. Not any longer. I have used the 11.3 LRU update on my SPARC T5240 without any issues. Well, as I said, I have 11.3 on the M3000 brick now. For Solaris 11.4, you can just install the CBE version which has full access to update repositories for free. Does not work on anything previous to a T4. At all. Period.

I just said that Oracle is kind enough Oh please .. words never spoken nor written before just appeared. Dennis

No, you don't. You download the update - which is 20 GB in size - and you get an Solaris repository with the latest package versions for Solaris 11.3. Paying Oracle customers don't get anything more recent either unless you have an extra LTSS support contract which costs a lot of money.

I just said that Oracle is kind enough to at least provide Solaris 11.4 to the community for free now with full access to the update repositories. Adrian -- .''`.
