Our story

Founded in 2016, before Java licensing was a boardroom problem.

When Oracle began enforcing Java SE licensing in earnest, most enterprises had no idea they were exposed. Java had been treated as "free" for two decades. Then the rules changed — the Binary Code License gave way to OTN, OTN to NFTC, and in January 2023 Oracle moved Java SE to a company-wide employee metric.

We started Oracle Java Licensing to give buyers a place to turn that was not Oracle, not an Oracle partner, and not a reseller carrying a quota. Every engagement we take has one purpose: to put the enterprise — never the vendor — first.

Today our team carries more than 20 years of combined Oracle licensing experience, including former Oracle audit and LMS practitioners who now work exclusively on the buyer's side of the table.

What we are not

Zero Oracle affiliation

We are not an Oracle partner, reseller, or VAR. We earn nothing from Oracle and sell no Oracle licenses. That independence is the entire point.

What we are

Buyer-side advisory only

Compliance, audit defence, renewals, negotiation, migration, and continuous management — for Oracle Java, and nothing else.

Why clients choose us

A specialist beats a generalist every time.

Focus

Exclusively Oracle Java

We do not advise on databases, middleware, or any other Oracle product. Java SE licensing is all we do — so we know every metric, every license version, and every Oracle audit tactic.

Independence

Always buyer-side

No Oracle partnership, no resale margin, no conflict of interest. Our only incentive is to reduce your Oracle Java exposure and cost.

Guarantee

Money-back audit defence

If we take on your Oracle Java audit and cannot reduce the claim, we refund our fees. We are confident enough in our work to put it in writing.

How we work

A clear path from uncertainty to control.

1

Understand your estate

We map every Oracle JDK and Java SE deployment across servers, desktops, containers, and cloud — and identify which license each instance falls under: BCL, OTN, NFTC, or subscription.

2

Quantify the exposure

We translate that estate into a defensible number: what Oracle could realistically claim, and what you actually owe under a correct reading of the license terms.

3

Build the strategy

Defend an audit, renegotiate a renewal, or migrate off Oracle Java entirely — we recommend the path that costs you least, and we tell you when doing nothing is the right answer.

4

Execute and protect

We do the work alongside your team, then keep you compliant with continuous monitoring so the next letter from Oracle is never a surprise.

Our promise is in writing

Every audit defence engagement carries a money-back guarantee: if we cannot reduce Oracle's Java claim, our fees are refunded. Read how the guarantee works →
