Oracle PULA Exit. Break Free in 2026.

What you will take away

• PULA caps the entitlement. The certified number is final. No further deployment counts after term end.
• The five exit traps run in parallel. Product scope, cloud clause, merger language, support uplift, and audit window.
• Support cost is the silent killer. The eight percent annual uplift compounds and outruns the headline saving.
• Cloud usage may not certify. AWS and Azure deployment counts depend on the contract clause, not the marketing slide.
• Merger and acquisition language can void the PULA. Read the change of control clause before any deal closes.
