Fredrik says that if they do, you should worry. 01:18 If you have not heard from Oracle in 45 days, it indicates that Oracle selected you randomly (fishing trip) 01:43 Fredrik explains that Oracle EBS customers are targetted often if they do not have full use Oracle Database Enterprise edition and Oracle Weblogic Server Enterprise Edition. 02:02 When you purchase Oracle EBS licenses, you recieve restricted use licenses for Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and Oracle Weblogic, however the restrictions are such that almost no company avoid buying full use licenses. 02:30 What is the scope of the audit? Which products does Oracle want to audit?
