Steps to Follow

Solaris[TM] Operating System Support Matrix

Solaris Vintage Support, the name for Sun's non-current Solaris support model, provides contractual support on the Solaris OS (SPARC(R) and x86 Platform Edition) release for five years from the End-of-Life (EOL) date as follows:

Table 1: Vintage Phase Description

Phase	Support Level
Vintage Phase 1 (Years 1 & 2 After Last Ship Date)	The level of support will provide contract customers full remedial support excepting requests for enhancements and cosmetic bugs. Patches will be created as needed and distributed via SunSolve[SM]. This provides no material reduction in the level of support. However, patches will not be rolled up into quarterly updates.
Vintage Phase 2 (Years 3, 4 & 5 After Last Ship Date)	Contract customers will continue to receive telephone support and access to existing patches in SunSolve.

For Information on the EOL or EOSL date for each release, please consult the following link:

http://www.sun.com/service/eosl/eosl_solaris.html

* LS Date = Last Ship date. The LS Date is the trigger date for Solaris Vintage Support. Prior to Solaris[TM] 2.5.1 the Last Order Date had been used as the non-current Solaris support trigger date. The dates listed under LS Date for releases prior to Solaris 2.5.1 are actually their Last Order date. These dates will remain their Solaris Vintage Support trigger dates to ensure consistency with previously published non-current Solaris support documentation. LS dates will be utilized for all future Solaris releases beginning with Solaris 2.5.1.

** The Solaris[TM] 2.5 dates were adjusted to the original dates. Before 23-Oct-2001 the document showed erroneously the same LS date (and derived dates) as Solaris 2.5.1.

Note: The Premium Option was terminated by 25-Apr-2002.
