Your HP support contract entitles you to upgrade to the latest release of HP-UX 11i v3 for no additional cost.

That includes upgrading from the original HP-UX 11i OEs to the new OEs for v3.

Upgrading to the new HP-UX 11i v3 OEs delivers up to 81% more software value, and up to 15% savings in OE support costs, in addition to the possibility of eliminating stand-alone software support costs.

If you are running an older release of HP-UX 11i, or if you have v3 original OEs (FOE, TCOE, EOE, MCOE), you'll see that—in all cases—you've just gained additional powerful software at no additional cost, and reduced support costs for your HP-UX 11i software.

That includes upgrading from the original HP-UX 11i OEs to the new OEs for v3.

The map below illustrates the most common OE upgrade paths.

Lower support costs in two ways

HP-UX 11i v3 offers 2 ways for you to reduce support costs when you move to the new v3 OEs, shown at the right in the chart above. The new v3 OEs, which have more software than prior OEs in all cases:

  1. Come with lower OE support costs for up to 15% savings, OE to OE. Save 29–33% upgrading from Enterprise OE plus Serviceguard (purchased stand-alone), to the v3 High Availability OE!


  2. Allow for elimination of support costs for any software you bought as stand-alone software, where that software is now included in the v3 OE.
