Solaris 10 Entitlement process for non-Download Customers

 
If you've obtained the Solaris 10 software by means other than download or are installing Solaris 10 on systems that have not yet been registered, you must still register to receive your entitlement to use the software past the 90-day evaluation period and for commercial purposes.

This process is simple: select the product you will be using from the list below. When you arrive at the download center, either sign in, or register and fill out the usage survey. You must enter a valid email address. Once you have completed the survey and have arrived at the download page, your entitlement will be sent to you. You do not have to download the software. All you need to do is follow the registration and survey process.

If you install Solaris 10 on additional machines, you must go back to the Sun Download Center, register those machines, and receive an additional entitlement document.
