Oracle JDE Licensing Guide

Oracle JDE licensing works like this

  • Named User License: Specific individuals are licensed.
  • Concurrent User License: Based on the number of simultaneous users.
  • Processor License: Tied to the number of server processors.
  • Enterprise License: Covers larger organizational needs.
  • Metered License: Usage-based, measured by specific metrics.

JD Edwards Pricing Models

JD Edwards Pricing Models

1. Server Model-based (Pre-October 1993)

  • Basis: Capacity of IBM AS/400 servers.
  • User Limitation: No user-based licensing; the number of users was limited only by the server’s capacity.

2. Concurrent User-based (November 1993 – November 1996)

  • Basis: Maximum number of concurrent users accessing the software.
  • Details: Included a list of products that could be used by many users simultaneously.

3. Suite-based (November 1993 – February 2002)

  • Eligibility: Companies with existing suite-based contracts could purchase licenses for additional users and products until February 2004.
  • Calculation: License fees were based on a collection of products (the “suite”) and user fees.

4. Solution-based (From February 2002)

  • Development: Further developed in 2004 to become the basis for PeopleSoft’s solution pricing model.
  • Flexibility: Allowed end-users to purchase specific components rather than entire suites.

5. Enterprise Licensing

  • Scope: Permits unlimited users.
  • Customization: Allows organizations to purchase individual products as needed.

JDE Licensing Models

1. Component Pricing

  • Model: “A la carte” pricing, allowing products to be purchased individually.
  • Metrics: Pricing varies based on metrics such as the number of employees for HR/Payroll products or the cost of goods sold for supply chain products.

2. Custom Application Suite (CAS) Pricing

  • Customization: Enables organizations to bundle various products into a custom suite tailored to their needs.
  • Restrictions: Some products are not available under CAS pricing but can be combined with component-based licenses.

How to Audit JDE

Regular audits are essential to ensure compliance with JD Edwards licensing. You can use Oracle LMS Scripts to measure your license usage, identify any discrepancies, and avoid potential legal issues.
