Oracle LMS Audit service

Audit

The Audit Service is a licensing verification activity that aims to determine a customer’s or partner’s compliance with Oracle’s licensing terms; it may be initiated only by Oracle LMS. This service helps organizations get a detailed evaluation of their current deployed Oracle estate versus their contractual entitlements. During the engagement, we can provide you with Oracle tools or recommend approved third-party tooling to help you gather usage information. Using this information, we’ll collaborate with you to verify the total number of Oracle assets in use, reconcile actual usage versus contractual entitlements, and provide guidance for addressing any resulting gaps. In addition, this data may be used to highlight opportunities for improvement in your internal controls to help you manage your license deployments.

When you license Oracle software, it’s your responsibility to use your licenses in accordance with the terms and conditions of your license agreements. In addition, if you’re a partner, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you’re selling Oracle licenses in accordance with your resale distribution agreements. Whether you’re a customer or a partner, it’s ultimately your responsibility to ensure that you understand your license rights and that you’re complying with those rights.

Oracle Corporation is committed to protecting its contractual and intellectual property rights and will assist its customers and partners in obtaining and maintaining adequate licenses for their use of Oracle programs.
