The top 20 questions about Oracle license reviews and Oracle audits

Whenever you install an Oracle program, whether as an individual or as a corporation, you agree to the terms and conditions of a license agreement. There comes a point in time when, as a company, you will go through a software audit, as included in your license agreement with Oracle.

Oracle’s License Management Services (LMS) is the department within Oracle that typically performs audits on behalf of the Oracle Corporation, supported by a number of third parties (LMS partners) that can perform audits on behalf of Oracle LMS. If you ignore the request for a license review or license audit, the issue may be handed over to Oracle’s License Management Services department (if the project was initially started by a sales representative) or otherwise to Oracle’s Legal Department.

Therefore, it‘s important to understand what you‘re facing when it comes to an Oracle license review or audit and that’s what this whitepaper provides: answers to the top 20 questions about Oracle audits.
