Important Change to On-Premise Term Licenses

Thursday, 3 September, 2020

Announcement from Oracle

With our joint customers’ focus directed toward the Cloud and the on-premise customers moving more toward perpetual licenses, we made a strategic decision to eliminate on-premise term licenses, providing streamlined product and licensing selections when placing on-premise orders. Effective September 1, 2020, Oracle will no longer offer on-premise term licenses (1-5 year terms), with the exception of key Oracle Technology products that will retain 1-year term licenses (see list below):

  • Existing customers paying support on their term licenses will remain supported through the end of their term.
  • Perpetual licenses are not affected by this announcement.
  • Application Specific Full Use (ASFU) term licenses distributed in August 2020 can be reported until September 20, 2020.

Impact on Quotes

  • All valid Q1 quotes with term licenses must be booked by the end of the quarter, August 31, 2020.
  • No new quotes should contain term licenses after August 31, 2020.
  • Released quotes with customer acceptance must be booked by September 10, 2020.
  • Any bookings after September 10, 2020, will not be processed.

Impact on License Migrations

  • Term upgrades to longer-term licenses are discontinued (e.g., migrating a 2-year term to a 5-year term).
  • Term upgrades to perpetual licenses remain (e.g., migrating from a 4-year term license to a perpetual license). However, migrations from 1-year term to a perpetual license are discontinued.
