What you will be able to do after this session

• 1Name the species. Tell full use, ASFU, embedded, hosting, and term licenses apart on paper.
• 2Read a grant. Find the scope words in any license grant and know what they permit.
• 3Check the boundaries. Know which access paths and workloads each species allows.
• 4Plan migrations. Know the paths between species, and what each one costs.
• 5Classify your estate. Add a species column to the entitlement library from session 6.

How the session works

A taught session with three knowledge checks: the BI tool connected to an embedded database (the classic species breach), the ASFU to full use migration decision, and the hosting versus internal business operations boundary. It closes by pricing the identical database under four different grants, from full list to a fraction of it, so the value of the words is a number, not a feeling.

Homework before the next session, about one hour

• 1Tag your library. Add the species column to the entitlement library: full use, ASFU, embedded, hosting, or term, per line.
• 2Find the restricted sellers. Which ISVs sold you ASFU or embedded licenses, and are they still in business?
• 3Check one access path. Pick one restricted database and ask what actually connects to it. BI tools first.
• 4Check the hosting sentence. If any product your company sells runs on Oracle, read the grant scope this week, not next quarter.
• 5Flag the clocks. Any term licenses in the estate? End dates into the calendar, today.
