Imas dve varijante besplatnog Solarisa 10. Komercijalni "zatvoreni" Solaris u formi "Solaris Enterprise System" koji mozes skinuti sa Sunovog sajta. Skidanje i upotreba su potpuno besplatni za bilo kakvu primenu, ali se dobijaju samo najosnovniji funkcionalni patchevi. Za sigurnostne patcheve i novu funkcionalnost mora da se kupi pretplata, pa se samim tim dobija i podrska.
Druga varijanta je OpenSolaris koji je besplatan i otvoren. Skines neku od OpenSolaris distribucija i to ti je to. Ista situacija kao i sa Linuxima ili *BSD-jevima.
