Oracle is aggressively auditing Java usage across enterprises globally. Their claims are often inflated by millions. Don't respond without independent experts managing the process — we protect your rights, challenge every finding, and prevent Oracle from converting an audit into a forced subscription.
Oracle's Java enforcement team is one of the most aggressive in enterprise software. Whether it's a formal audit, a 'license review,' or a pointed sales call referencing compliance — you need independent defense immediately.
Oracle routinely inflates Java audit claims by counting every installation — including OpenJDK, development environments, and non-production systems — as licensable. We challenge these inflated claims systematically.
Oracle's preferred resolution is a multi-year Java SE subscription at list price. We negotiate dramatically better outcomes — including reduced claims, migration timelines, and alternative settlement structures.
We take control of all communications with Oracle's audit team — LMS, GLAS, or third-party auditors. We manage timelines, challenge data requests, and ensure Oracle follows its own contractual audit rights.
Before Oracle analyzes your data, we conduct our own assessment — identifying which installations are genuinely licensable vs. Oracle's inflated counts. This gives you a defensible counter-position.
We systematically challenge every audit finding — Java version eligibility, deployment classifications, measurement methodologies, and entitlement credits. We typically reduce claims by 80-95%.
After resolving the audit, we help you migrate to alternative JDK distributions and build governance controls — so you never face another Java audit exposure.
Oracle claimed we owed $22M for Java across our global infrastructure. Redress Compliance proved that 85% of installations were either OpenJDK or covered under existing entitlements. Final settlement: $1.9M — and we migrated away from Oracle Java within 6 months.
We don't partner with Oracle Java, sell licenses, or take vendor incentives. Our advice is built entirely around your interests.
