What to know about your ULA

1

A little-known fact is that an Oracle unlimited licensing agreement DOES NOT ALWAYS give you unlimited licenses.

2

Many organizations consume more licensing than needed and find themselves in a poor negotiating position at the end of licensing agreement.

If you’re not actively managing your ULA, we recommend starting the review process 9-12 months before your contract ends.

Negotiate

As ULA contracts are uniquely created for organizations, every facet of them is customizable. But remember, these contracts are meant to protect the vendor’s best interests. Understand your Effective License Position (ELP) and negotiate the best terms possible, both for right now and the future.

Certify

Don’t let the software vendors fool you — the certification process is nothing short of a trap. Language hidden in your agreement leaves many customers out of compliance the day they certify out. Certify at the optimal level, establishing compliance and reduce annual support costs.

Renew

It’s unlikely LicsenceFortress will recommend renewing your organization’s ULA “as is.” Why? With proper planning, ULA customers almost always have better options. Whether that is certifying your ULA or optimizing your deployment, we will recommend actions that are in YOUR best interest, NOT the vendors.

CASE STUDY

When Oracle uses a compliance issue to bully a customer into buying a $5M ULA they didn't need.

Oracle ran its auditing scheme on this customer and declared they were out of compliance by more than $14M. They then offered a $5M ULA to settle that they didn’t need. Found out how LicenseFortress salvaged the deal gone wrong and reclaimed $3.9M in support costs.
