What you will be able to do after this session

• 1Run the rhythm. Operate the quarterly tracking cadence that makes certification a formality.
• 2Keep the register. Record every deployment with the evidence the exit count will stand on.
• 3Handle the events. Process acquisitions, divestitures, and reorganizations at event time, not at exit.
• 4Migrate with the exit in mind. Track cloud moves against the certification language you negotiated.
• 5Rehearse the exit. Run the annual dry run that finds the gaps while they are still cheap.

How the session works

A taught session with three knowledge checks: the colleague who thinks tracking is wasted effort under unlimited, the mid term divestiture and what it does to the exit count, and the year two dry run that finds 60 percent register coverage with twelve months to fix it. It closes with the one page exit readiness scorecard a well run ULA updates annually.

Homework before the next session, about one hour

• 1Open the register. ULA or not, start a deployment register for one Oracle product this week. The habit transfers.
• 2Check the gate. Could a team deploy an Oracle product tomorrow without anyone checking a list? If yes, that is the finding.
• 3Reread the cloud language. If a ULA exists: the certification clause against your actual migration plans, on one page.
• 4File the last event. Your most recent acquisition, divestiture, or reorganization gets its licensing file now, while it is fresh.
• 5Run a mini dry run. One product, one hour: inventory it, compare against your records, note the coverage percentage.
