Oracle Java Audits

Has your IT department recently received calls from Oracle to discuss security practices? Do you know how risky it is for you to speak with them without knowing the whole story?

As many organizations have discovered, Oracle recently intensified its Java audit activity and are using a Trojan Horse to make you think they are raising Java vulnerability concerns when their focus is to negotiate a new Java SE licensing contract. Oracle is even charging customers who are out of licensing compliance for up to three years of past use under the terms of the new employee-count licensing metric.

Watch this on-demand webinar with Evan Boyd, Vice President, Global Operations at Software Licensing Consultants and Simon Taylor, VP, Global Partners at Azul, where they share:

• How responding effectively reduces your risk of paying Oracle exorbitant licensing fees and facing unexpected invoices for “retroactive” support on non-existent licenses.
• Moving to OpenJDK without evaluating its impact on mission-critical applications could impact your organization’s productivity.
• Taking an Oracle “sales call” could lead to a potential Java audit.
• The do’s and don’ts of managing an Oracle Java audit and your licensing rights.

They highlight a recent SLC customer that had valid security and Java stability concerns, only to turn the conversation around and try to pressure them into signing a multi-year contract.
