Thanks for pointing me at this - I seem to have the same problem as 
reported by "kevinriver". Starting a few days ago it suddenly wasn't 
possible for me to download Solaris 9 patches anymore; Solaris 10 
patches work fine. I do have the "Solaris10SoftwareUpdates" entitlement, 
but none for Solaris9 or "AllSolarisUpdates" (anymore? I'm not sure 
which were listed before).

I can't map the contract I have on paper from the local reseller to any 
of the current support offerings from Sun/Oracle - and it doesn't talk 
about specific Solaris versions - so I wasn't sure whether that's a 
problem with SunSolve or Oracle doing some stricter enforcement on patch 
policy again. After the posting by "Miriam_at_home2" I have hope again ..

Martin.
