BIOS update for ML350 Gen9

[luk1]

Hi,

I'm trying to update BIOS on ML350 Gen9, but looks like all updates are locked behind warranty and support contracts.
My company has no contract with HP for that server and we are not interested in getting one right now. This is an older piece of equipment. We might re-use it in near future, at which point we might be interested with a support contract, but right now I just need to patch it.

Is there a way to access these without a support contract?

We paid a lot of money for this server back in the day. I'm surprised to see something as fundamental as BIOS updates (which address critical vulnerabilities) locked behind a paid service.

If you buy a Car, it costs a lot-lot more, but for all Cars, I know, you get Navigation Map Updates only for the first 3 Years for free. Also if the Map includes wrong Street information.
As far as I know, if there are "critical vulnerabilities" it is mostly for free, at all.
