So... what offers this $120/year "no support" license when you can use it with no cost at all for production?
- chasil 6y agoI have a SOX requirement that all of our corporate software is licensed. For a license "in name only," either the $120 Oracle or $350 Red Hat tier will suffice. I don't see the need to waste any more than $120 on support that I largely don't use. My Oracle Linux licenses expired several years ago, and I don't see any point in renewing them. I have had to use alternate Oracle CSI support to fix some of their own self-inflicted brain damage. Oracle managed to disable microcode updates in the UEKR4, killing spectre/meltdown remediation. They would not listen to me on the forums, and insisted that I file an SR, so I used a general corporate CSI to get that fixed (and it still took several months).
