## Finding prerequisite software for Oracle Health Sciences applications

Prerequisite software for Oracle Health Sciences applications is available from the following locations:

- Download the latest major or minor release from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (`https://edelivery.oracle.com/`).

  For information on the credentials that are required for authorized downloads, click FAQs on the main page of the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud portal.

- Download subsequent patch sets and patches from My Oracle Support (`https://support.oracle.com`).

  To find patch sets or patches, select the Patches & Updates tab.

If a previous version of prerequisite software is no longer available on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, log a software media request Service Request (SR). Previous versions of prerequisite software are archived and can usually be downloaded. After you open an SR, you can check its status:
