Hi,

You would need to buy Solaris 8 Vintage Patch Service for patches newer 
than April 1st, 2009:

If you still patch old Solaris 8 systems, it might be a good idea to get 
hold of a copy of the patchdiag.xref file from March 31st, 2009, and use 
that with pca's "--xrefdir" and "--nocheckxref" options. Like that, 
you'll get the most recent patch state with free patches only.

Martin.
