Hi everyone,

I'm trying to bring my tape setup up to date, but I've hit the notorious HPE "Entitlement Required" wall.

Even with a valid HPE customer account and a generated Entitlement Token for the Library and Tape Tools (L&TT), the tool itself throws an Application Exception 4080 during the download attempt. Trying to access the direct URLs via browser results in a 403 Forbidden error, as the session doesn't seem to carry over.

I am looking for the following files for a manual update:

  • MSL G3 Series Library Firmware: Version 8.10
  • HPE Ultrium 7-SCSI (FC) Drive Firmware: Version S2T1 (preferred) or Q387
If anyone with an active Care Pack could provide a mirror or point me toward a public repository (like a specific SPP or Tape Bundle ISO) where these are included, I would greatly appreciate it.

I've already checked the usual suspects (FTP mirrors, etc.), but these recent versions (released late 2023 to 2025) are proving difficult to source without a contract.

Thanks for your help!
