How to win at the Oracle licensing game

Risk & pitfalls

The level of risk and potential penalties from an Oracle audit depends on the following factors:

  • The number of distinct entities in your organization
  • The number of data centers
  • The number of countries in which your organization is present
  • The number of product migrations or support cancellations
  • The number of license agreements
  • The number of Oracle products your organization owns
  • The number of Oracle servers (virtual or physical)
  • Whether a disaster recovery environment exists
  • The types of virtualization used for the servers on which Oracle is installed

Avoid unnecessary penalties & optimize your software usage
