Unbundled Product Support

Although the Solaris 8 2/02 software is designed and tested to be compatible with previous releases, some applications may not be fully ABI-compliant. Contact the supplier of the unbundled product directly for information about compatibility.

If you are upgrading from an existing version of Solaris software and have installed unbundled products, either from Sun or from a different company, you must ensure that all those products are supported on the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment prior to upgrading. Depending on the status of each unbundled product, you have three options for each unbundled product:

• Verify that the existing version of the unbundled product is supported on the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment.

• Acquire and install a new version of the unbundled product that is supported on the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment. Note that in this case you may need to remove the previous version of the unbundled product prior to upgrading to the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment. See the unbundled product documentation for more details.

• Remove the unbundled product prior to upgrading to the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment.
