IP address of downloads offers crumb trail to orgs who should be ready for Big Red, says licensing expert
Organizations that do not consider themselves Oracle customers, but who use Java, can expect a call from the Big Red in the next three to nine months, according to a software licensing specialist.
Big Red first introduced two new licensing models for its commercial Java platform, Standard Edition , in April 2019 when it began charging license fees for previously free Java. While most Oracle and Java users have become aware of the changes, those who have never dealt with Oracle for their applications, database or middleware software might be new to the arrangement.
"They start to freak out and they start to worry… they don't want to be out of compliance. Every customer we work with, earnestly wants to be in compliance with all of their licenses, and so they'll overshare information," he said. Organizations should be careful before they take up the offer, he said. Users with legacy Oracle agreements face more than 100 percent — even 1,000 percent — cost increases when moving to the new terms. Bills going from tens of thousands of dollars to more than a million have been confirmed by multiple licensing specialists.
