Does all grey and secondary market product come with a valid Solaris licence?

A. No, only Sun Microsystems and Sun’s authorised resellers are lawfully entitled to transfer software licences to end-users. Therefore any Sun product (e.g a server) you might purchase from a grey market broker cannot be supplied by that broker with any software (e.g Solaris) licences. Any customer purchasing Sun hardware from an unauthorised source must subsequently obtain the required Sun software licence(s) directly from Sun.
