Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How long to hold onto old Oracle CDs?
It figures. We're one the largest accounts Oracle
has got. Heck, Oracle has two people at HQ that
deal with nothing but GE business units, and I
STILL can't get 7.3.4, 8.0.5 or 8.0.6 for NT.
Even my dedicated account rep struck out getting these disks.
Oh, well. I'll go back and try it again.

I cut an iTAR on Metalink back last Oct. It would have been simpler. If someone had maintained our support agreement. But while that was being resolved. The sent me the CD. I got the CD in a couple of days.
I was informed by someone at IBM that Oracle could burn new CD's. If you truly have a need for the CD. Such as lost/broken. Put pressure on them via your account rep.
I hardly think it is likely for a vendor to say they don't have the code. If
we have people on the list with software dating back to Oracle 4, I doubt Oracle is purging its archives of the software. It would be irrational. It is more likely they are just being difficult. Doing nothing is always the easiest route for the vendor.
