Oracle now also audits Java!  So far only as so-called 'soft' audits, but now also officially included in the first software audits, Oracle has started to audit Java.

The challenge: Many organizations have no transparency about their Java installations, versions, or even commercial features of supposedly free versions. This can get really expensive in Oracle software audits.   

Silke Henderson-Stuenkel, Senior Product Manager and Licensing Specialist for Oracle at Matrix42, reports on the current state of Oracle & Java audits and presents highlights from the brand-new Matrix42 JAVA inventory innovation, with which license managers: 

• Gain full transparency over all deployed JAVA versions from all vendors

• Identify license-required Oracle Java features prior to an audit

• Generate Oracle audit reports at the push of a button
