Introduction

Defend Against Oracle Java Audits โ€” and Cut Millions in Unnecessary Costs

At Redress Compliance, we help global enterprises navigate the complexities of Oracle Java SE licensing โ€” especially under Oracleโ€™s aggressive audit programs. Whether youโ€™re facing a formal Java LMS audit or a โ€œsoftโ€ compliance inquiry from Oracle Sales, we equip you with the facts, data, and strategy to defend your position and avoid overspending.

Weโ€™re not Oracle partners. We donโ€™t resell Java subscriptions. Weโ€™re 100% independent โ€” which means our only priority is helping you:

โœ… Stay compliant
โœ… Eliminate audit risk
โœ… Reduce Java subscription costs
โœ… Regain control of your Oracle Java strategy

Our Java audit defense and licensing assessment case studies reveal how CIOs, software asset managers, and procurement leaders have:

  • Resolved multi-million dollar Java SE audit claims โ€” reduced to zero or minimal cost
  • Defended against both formal Oracle LMS audits and soft compliance inquiries
  • Eliminated unnecessary Java SE subscriptions across servers, desktops, and dev environments
  • Migrated off Oracle JDK in favor of OpenJDK, cutting recurring costs
  • Negotiated fair, minimal Java licensing coverage where needed โ€” and nothing more
