The ITAM Java Licensing Playbook

Geen categorie October 13, 2025

In 2023, Oracle announced its fourth Java licensing and pricing change in four years. It moved from a traditional infrastructure pricing model to an employee-based metric, which increases licensing costs from 2x to 10x (for most customers). Many organizations face the challenge of whether to stay and pay or switch and save.

Information technology asset management (ITAM) professionals have six options to address these soaring pricing increases: Ignore Oracle, Negotiate with Oracle, Surrender and Pay, Remove Java, or Switch to another Java provider.

This playbook will help you:

Understand the details and impact of these continuous changes
Decide how to address these pricing and license increases
Create an ITAM blueprint for success and select the optimal OpenJDK solution
