have a support contract. Oracle support is an additional cost. I know of
they will save money over time.

It was my understanding that if you have a valid CSI, you can register
for metalink. Having a license implies at least the minimal level of
support (ie, downloading your own patches). That's probably why they
call it Software Update License & Support. I see you can buy packages
of incident support (without updates?!), but I didn't see that you can
have a license without any support. Oh wait, I just saw the price
lists... maybe you can buy licenses without support. Jeez, you are
right Brian. I had only seen companies who let the licensing lapse.
(Looking at the Previous Offerings doc, looks like this changed March
2005).

Hmmmm... "Access to OracleMetaLink is included with Software Update
License & Support, Priority Service, Production Support, Incident
Server Support, JDeveloper Support, Extended Support, and Sustaining
Support. For customers with a current Software Updates service
contract, limited access to OracleMetaLink is included for patches and
bug fix information."
(And for anyone who missed it, getting back on to support after you
let it go is expennnnnnsive, and can be impossible after certain
support expires, ie, if you are on O8, you're likely toast.)
