SAM tooling and how does it work with Oracle license management ? Informed companies do not trust a SAM tool to be 100% accurate when it comes to Oracle licensing. Software asset management tools cannot measure Oracle middleware or Oracle application licenses at any acceptable level. If you are using a third party verified by Oracle tool, for database accuracy is at best 80%.
Being verified by Oracle does not mean that the SAM tool is verified to measure and create licensing position for Oracle.
Oracle never test the SAM tool capability to perform licensing measurement, that is not part of the “Oracle verification process”.
This is a simplified version of the verification process for SAM tools.
That’s it! – Note that Oracle performs no test to verify if the SAM tool can measure which Oracle licenses are installed/used/required.
Garrick Brivkalns, program manager for Oracle Global Licensing and Advisory Services, surprised some when he said that Oracle verified the accuracy of these tools only in terms of raw usage data.
“We’re not working to verify any other aspects that the tool might possess such as entitlements tracking, matching entitlements, the usage, and compliance position determinations,”
