Oracle's 2023 shift to an employee-based Java subscription has turned routine deployments into multi-million-dollar exposure. We help you understand your footprint, eliminate Oracle dependency, and defend against compliance claims.
Java licensing has changed more in the last few years than in the previous two decades. We help you cut through the complexity.
Oracle's Java SE Universal Subscription is priced per employee—not per install—forcing you to license your entire workforce for a handful of installations.
Running Java 8, 11, or 17 past the free update window can be treated as commercial use, triggering retroactive licensing claims.
Oracle Database, WebLogic, and many third-party apps ship with Java runtimes that can quietly create commercial obligations.
Downloading Oracle JDK from oracle.com—even versions labeled 'free'—can create commercial obligations under Oracle's click-through terms.
Moving from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK distributions like Corretto, Temurin, or Zulu requires planning across hundreds of apps and environments.
Oracle's outreach often arrives as a friendly 'license review.' Any data shared can—and will—be used to build a compliance claim.
From legacy desktop deployments to enterprise server environments, we have expertise across Oracle's full Java portfolio.
We've helped organizations navigate every major Oracle Java licensing change—from per-processor and Named User Plus, to the Java SE Subscription, to today's employee-based Universal Subscription.
