-LICENSING REQUIREMENTS:
A Solaris right-to-use license is required to run the Solaris 9
Operating System. UltraSPARC(TM) based Sun computer systems come
with the appropriate Solaris license, so customers purchasing new Sun
hardware are automatically licensed to use the Solaris 9 software. An
upgrade license is required to move from one release to another (for
example, from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9 operating system).
For OEMs and customers with non-Sun hardware, a Solaris license is
required. License fees vary depending on the hardware configuration.
Customers with non-Sun hardware must obtain a right-to-use license for
each system on which the Solaris software is installed. If their
hardware supplier is a Sun OEM, end users will get their Solaris
license from the hardware vendor. If a Solaris license is not
supplied, one must be purchased from a Sun authorized channel.
