Yogesh,

there's no place to download HP-UX 11i.
You MUST buy a set of CD-ROMs, besides having the license of HP-UX.
If you have a support contract, call HP.

This is equivalent to saying that you have Windows 98 and want to download Windows XP.
I rather doubt that Microsoft would do this for free.

Unless you are under a support agreement, you must purchase the media. If you are under support then call HP (or use the ITRC) and request the media.

Your first task is to determine if your workstation will even run 11.11 and if you are up to a high enough firmware level.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Thanks to everyone, at least I will stop wasting time to find a download site. I was under the impression that HP does allow single user license free of charge. I don't have a support contract or anything, I just have an old workstation and was hoping to practice system administration skills by upgrading from 10.2 to 11i

I have already verified that the current hardware and firmware will support 11i.

Sun offers to download Solaris for free for SPARC and x86 architecture if you accept to register, and if it's only 1 user usage.
I've downloaded the Solaris 10 for cusiosity. I find this policy nice.

HP should consider this kind of initiative.
