Experts are noting a rise in Oracle Java audits as the company shifts to a per-employee licensing model, drastically increasing costs for users. Following the switch in January 2023, audits are becoming more frequent, especially as Oracle's financial year-end approaches. CEO Scott Sellers of Azul has observed that Oracle is actively targeting companies globally for compliance checks. In light of high cost increases, many businesses, including large corporations, are reconsidering their licensing agreements and exploring alternatives, while Azul offers tools to monitor Java usage more effectively.
Experts are warning of an increase in Oracle Java audits as the company transitions to a per-employee licensing model, causing potential cost increases of up to five times.
Scott Sellers, CEO of Azul, highlighted that Oracle is intensifying its auditing efforts globally as it reallocates sales teams and targets companies that have downloaded Java.
With the end of Oracle's financial year approaching, many existing contracts are up for renewal, leading companies to reconsider their relationship with Oracle.
Azul has introduced a new tool, JVM Inventory, designed to provide visibility into Oracle Java usage and assist businesses in managing their licensing.
