Software replacement as result of Hurricane Katrina or Rita
September 2005
HP has been deeply moved by the impact of the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina and Rita to the Gulf coast region of the United States. We have great sympathy for the enormous number of individuals whose lives have been turned upside down by this unprecedented natural disaster. More information on HP's overall response can be found at www.hp.com.
Customers who have been impacted by the hurricanes and need replacement software can follow the standard process and obtain the software via the HP Software Support Online Website at http://support.openview.hp.com/support.
If you cannot order replacement software because you have lost all your support information, i.e., logons, support agreements IDs, then please call Mike Cook (770) 664-7179 or Gina Morinaka (801) 495-1782.
