Oracle’s Java SE audits are hitting U.S. enterprises with massive retroactive licensing claims — often in the hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions. And the worst part? Most companies don’t even realize they’re exposed.
If you’ve downloaded Java updates, installed Oracle JDK on desktops or servers, or run Java in VDI or BYOD environments, you’re already in Oracle’s crosshairs. What starts as a “friendly check-in” can quickly turn into a demand for years of unpaid licenses — backdated and inflated.
This white paper gives you a step-by-step breakdown of Oracle’s audit tactics and how to dismantle them. You’ll learn how Oracle builds its retroactive claims, how to challenge per-employee licensing logic, and how to negotiate fixed-fee settlements that save you from long-term cost traps. It also shows you how to migrate to OpenJDK and eliminate Oracle Java risk for good.
Inside, you’ll find a real-world case study of a U.S. healthcare company that negotiated Oracle’s $960,000 Java claim down to just $180,000 — and walked away with a clean exit plan.
Download the guide before you say a single word to Oracle. This isn’t theory. It’s the negotiation blueprint Oracle hopes you never see.
