Oracle Licensing — Understanding Your Entitlements

Know what you own, what you owe, and where you are exposed. Demystifying Oracle licensing — named user vs processor metrics, cloud subscription models, audit readiness, and the EBS-to-Fusion financial implications. 3 hrs · 1 session · Foundation. Overview Oracle licensing is deliberately complex. The metrics are opaque, the audit rights are broad, and the transition from perpetual EBS licences to cloud subscriptions changes the financial model in ways that most organisations don't fully understand until after they have committed. Organisations routinely over-pay for licences they don't use, under-licence in ways that create audit risk, or make EBS-to-cloud transition decisions based on an incomplete understanding of the 10-year financial picture. This session cuts through the complexity. In three hours, participants gain the vocabulary to have an informed conversation with Oracle and their SI about licensing, the framework to assess their current position, and the specific questions to ask before signing any Oracle agreement. No legal advice — practical clarity. Learning outcomes • Understand the difference between named user plus, processor, and restricted use licence metrics • Assess your organisation's current Oracle licence position for compliance gaps and over-licences • Understand what an Oracle licence audit involves and how to prepare for one • Evaluate the financial model of Oracle's cloud subscription offering versus perpetual EBS licences • Understand the licence implications of an EBS-to-Fusion migration on a 10-year basis • Know the questions to ask Oracle and your SI before signing any Oracle agreement Prerequisites • No Oracle technical knowledge required • Basic contract and commercial literacy is helpful • Most valuable for organisations actively using Oracle products or planning to purchase Modules 1. Licence types, compliance, audit readiness & the EBS-to-cloud transition (3 hours) Named user plus versus processor metric: what each means, when each applies, and how Oracle calculates compliance under each model. Full use, restricted use, and limited licences — the differences and the risks. Technology licences versus application licences: what is bundled and what is not. The Oracle support contract: what 22% annual support buys, what it doesn't, and what third-party support alternatives exist. Oracle licence audits: what triggers one (and it is not usually random), what Oracle can and cannot access, how to prepare, and how to respond to an audit letter without panic. The cloud subscription model: what you own versus what you rent, what happens if you stop paying, and the data portability provisions you need before you sign. EBS perpetual licence versus Fusion cloud subscription: the honest 10-year financial comparison — when the cloud is cheaper, when it isn't, and what the migration costs do to the calculation. Bring-your-own-licence (BYOL) options and when they apply. Practical next steps: how to get your licence position mapped and any gaps closed before they become problems.
