Most enterprises still run Oracle Java without realizing it — hidden in desktop software, middleware, or embedded inside third-party applications. That oversight can quickly become a financial liability, with Oracle’s aggressive Java SE subscription model turning a single unlicensed install into a six- or seven-figure compliance claim.
This white paper gives you a clear, proven roadmap to take control. You’ll learn how to uncover every instance of Oracle Java in your environment, verify whether it’s properly licensed, and determine if it can be removed, downgraded, or replaced entirely. We walk you through practical steps to migrate from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK or older BCL versions, and show you how to shut down unnecessary licensing before it becomes an audit disaster.
Whether Oracle has already contacted you, or you're proactively reducing risk, this guide is your starting point to regain control and eliminate Java-related exposure.
