Even Oracle’s Pricing Example shows the large company (28,000 employees and agents) will have an annual subscription bill of $2,268,000!Īs of today, we have already heard from our customers that they are being contacted (harassed) by their Java sales representatives to adopt this “easier to understand subscription model.” We expect that legions of Oracle salespeople will be salivating to lock in these new subscriptions before the February end-of-quarter deadline for their personal bonuses. The numbers will get more staggering with larger companies. Scenario 2: Medium-sized business with large Java footprintĮven when every employee in the company is using Java in this scenario, the subscription price per year will more than double! Now let’s consider a similar-sized company, but with a larger Java footprint, and every employee requiring Desktop access. In the new model there are no separate charges for desktop and server, but now every employee will be charged for the Java subscription. In the old subscription model, the organization would pay $2.50/mo for each of the 20 desktop users and $25.00/mo for each Processor where Java SE was installed and/or running. Scenario 1: Medium-sized business with small Java footprint Let’s consider some before-and-after pricing for a few different scenarios: Calculating the cost You are potentially on the hook for a massive subscription fee increase that may have very little benefit to your operation. What this means for your organization is that regardless of your Java users or server footprint, you now must count every employee, contractor, consultant, and agent to determine your Java subscription bill. “all of the full-time employees, part-time employees, and temporary employees of your agents, contractors, outsourcers, and consultants that support Your internal business operations.”.“all of Your full-time, part-time, temporary employees”, AND.The new Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription Global Price List has almost completely eliminated the ability to count physical Processors on which Java is “installed and/or running” (unless you happen to have more than 50,000 Processors, not counting desktops, on which Java is installed) for your subscription, and changed the metric to “Employee.” They further define Employee as: As of today (January 23, 2023), Oracle has overhauled its Java SE subscription plan making the use of Java potentially far more expensive for organizations than the previous plan. Just when you thought it was safe to deploy Java SE on your subscription-licensed server, Oracle has changed the rules (again). ![]() Franklin obviously never knew about Java pricing and Oracle’s penchant for squeezing every drop of money from their customers that they possibly can. Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying “ in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” Well, Mr.
