Free Metalink Account

Hello,


It's a curious question.

To access to My Oracle Support (ex Metalink) you need a CSI (Customer Support Identifier) which is
given by Oracle if you get a Licence (or partner) contract with Oracle.

So, for all I know, it's not free.

However, you can ask, for instance, for Oracle Database Personal Edition and for 1 or 2 Years Term Licence.

Normally, the 1 Year Term Licence cost about 20% of the Perpetual Licence.

To check these informatiions (which can be changed any time) you may consult the following link:

http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/pricelists.html

Else, if you are in a firm which already has a CSI you may ask to the DBA (or manager) who manage this
CSI account so as to give you acces to Metalink. In this case there's nothing more to pay.


Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Tania,

MOS account is not for free but yes you can opt to but you may choose to buy personal edition of Oracle and with that, you may want to opt for the MOS account as well.

There was a thread where Hans did mention how to go for it. I am not able to find it somehow at the moment. But still there is one thread which does have the same discussion going on that how one can go for personal MOS account.
