Straight Talk On Oracle Licensing & Licensing Trends
As our organization’s software infrastructure continues to stretch between on-premise, public clouds, and hybrid clouds, keeping it in compliance is more challenging than ever. Plus, getting straight answers from vendors on the proper way to license software isn’t always easy. (Some have even turned software license audits into a revenue generator!) This session will cover software license trends in this cloud-fueled world, the difference between Oracle policy and your contractual obligations, licensing Oracle on a virtualized environment, lessons learned, and steps every organization should take to stay in license compliance and not be the victim of their next software license audit. Many of the lessons learned will apply to all major software vendors.

LicenseFortress has launched as a standalone entity to focus on database software license management and audit protection service with a financial guarantee.
Originally part of VLSS, a consultancy founded in 2005 with a focus on Oracle and VMware technologies, LicenseFortress was spun out as a standalone company in October 2017.
“About three years ago we realized that customers were coming to us over and over again about licensing questions and as a result we rolled out the LicenseFortress product in February 2016. We have been releasing iterations of it since that time, and then in October 2017, we formally separated out the company,” said LicenseFortress co-founder and CEO Dean Bolton.
Hi, I’m Dean Bolton, Co-Founder and Chief Architect of LicenseFortress. I wanted to thank our customers for their continued support and loyalty. 2020 was a challenging year for many businesses faced with difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic — yet fortunately, we’ve still experienced rapid growth. We have customers worldwide, but we are still looking to find that one customer in Antarctica to say we are on all seven continents.
