Wait, are you saying that oracle lets you use features you don’t have a license for, but then threatens to sue you for using them? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given oracle’s business model, but I am surprised they let you use the feature in the first place.
- eitland 1y agoThat was not what I was thinking of when I wrote it, but that absolutely also was a thing: I especially remember one particular feature that was really useful and really easy to enable in Enterprise Manager, but that would cost you at least $10000 at next license review (probably more if you had licensed it for more cores etc). What I wrote about above wasn't us changing something or using a new feature but some sales guy at their side re-interpreting what our existing agreement meant. (I was not in the discussions, I just happened to work with the guys who dealt with it and it is a long time ago so I cannot be more specific.)
