Oracle License Tool: Discovery and Compliance Software

Rythium’s Oracle License Tool is do-it-yourself Oracle license management software. It finds every Oracle installation and the hardware and virtualization under it, then works as an Oracle licensing calculator for your real estate: it counts processors with Oracle’s core factors, checks which options and packs are in use, and shows the licenses each server needs.

License calculation

An Oracle License Calculator for What You Actually Run

All Oracle licensing rules since 1996, including Oracle’s guidelines, are built into the tool. It applies them to the installations and hardware it discovered, so the count starts from what is deployed on your network.

Core factorsProcessors counted with the Oracle core factor table.

Named User Plus minimumsThe minimum user counts each product requires.

Virtualization and cloudOracle’s rules for virtual environments and for authorized clouds.

Options and packsThe options and packs in use, against what each database edition needs.

If the tool finds options or packs you have not licensed, our page on disabling Oracle options and packs explains what to do.
