If you are licenced to run 10g and it ends premier support, as it did
in July 2010, then are you required to pay for extended support? Or,
is it legal not to pay extended support until you need it and in that
case you have to backpay the extended support? Also, how much is
extended support? Even if you continue to pay your yearly Oracle
support costs, you would still need to pay extended support on top of
this?

I would think that you have to pay extended support starting from July
2010 (for 10gR2), however, I'm having problems convincing other people
of this.

Lastly, Is it possible to download the patchsets for Oracle 10gR2 now that it has ended premier support?

No comment on the licensing, but as far as the patchsets, there was
some extended support that ended July 2011, so in some cases, at
least, you can get the July CPU but not the October one. Or something
like that, they've implemented checking your license on the download.
YMMV, you might want to give it a try to save what you can before they
change their minds again.

You might want to review http://www.oracle.com/us/support/lib...ogy-069183.pdf
and http://www.oracle.com/us/support/057419.pdf Other countries may
vary.

You can download 11G and upgrade. Oracle will not object.
