How to download FW for Brocade BL switches if not entitled?

Sysxpp — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 12:30:13 GMT

Hello!

I just bought a pair of AJ820B 8Gb Brocade SAN Switches for BL-c, they work fine, but they have different firmwares (7.0.0 and 7.4.1). I cant find the firmware anywhere, and I can't download it because it is locked and says I need an "active warranty" or "contract". Since when do I need to be entitled to download the current (or just any) firmware? It is an aftermarket switches, i got them on e-bay. I have serials, but looks like they dont care.

Is there a way to download? Or a place with this firmwares?

Thanks in advance!

OMG, I found it myself just go on and keep it under "service contract" lock, like 2016 FW is some kind of treasure.

Thank god, the drivers are still available for download with no entitlement needed. Jesus.
