Expert Guidance to Optimise Oracle Licensing in Public Cloud
Migrating workloads to public cloud can deliver flexibility, scalability and operational efficiency — but Oracle licensing in public cloud environments remains high-risk. Differences in cloud architecture, virtualisation models and contractual interpretation can significantly impact cost and audit exposure if not managed correctly.
DSP-Eclipsys delivers specialist Oracle Licensing for Public Cloud, helping organisations move Oracle workloads to the cloud with confidence, control and commercial certainty. As independent Oracle licensing experts, we support businesses deploying Oracle across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure by providing clear, contract-led guidance.
Our services include detailed public cloud licence compliance assessments, cloud architecture and licence optimisation reviews, audit readiness and defence support and contractual interpretation of Oracle agreements to ensure cloud usage aligns with entitlements rather than non-contractual Oracle policy documents.
By combining deep Oracle licensing expertise with real-world public cloud experience, DSP-Eclipsys enables organizations to adopt cloud technologies while maintaining compliance, minimising risk and maximising the commercial value of their Oracle investments.

Expert Oracle Licensing Support for Confident Public Cloud Adoption
Why review my Oracle Licences now?
If you’re planning a move to the cloud, reviewing your Oracle licensing position early is critical. DSP-Eclipsys helps organizations understand how their existing Oracle licences align with cloud infrastructure, deployment models and future growth plans across specific cloud providers. Our specialists ensure licences are correctly applied, compliant and optimised for cloud use — while also identifying opportunities to reduce costs, eliminate unnecessary licensing, and introduce greater flexibility using newer commercial and subscription-based models.
Does it matter which Public Cloud I migrate to?
Yes — the choice of public cloud can significantly impact Oracle licensing costs and compliance. DSP-Eclipsys works to an “Any Database, Any Cloud” approach and has supported customers migrating Oracle workloads to OCI, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. We help you compare how Oracle licences apply across different cloud platforms, assess BYOL eligibility and understand the commercial and licensing differences between OCI and other hyperscalers. This ensures your cloud selection is driven by business value and licensing efficiency.
Should I move on-premise licences to the cloud?
On-premise Oracle licences can be migrated to public cloud and used across environments, but doing so without guidance can limit flexibility and increase cost. We help you determine whether reusing existing licences or adopting cloud-native, licence-included services is the most effective approach. While OCI offers Oracle-specific licensing flexibility, we also advise on alternative cloud models where consuming Oracle Database as a managed service can provide cost control, reduced compliance overhead and improved scalability.
DSP-Eclipsys can help you with...
-
Use of Virtualization software and Hardware Partitioning: Is your partitioning techniques, either at a Hardware level or at a Hypervisor, recognised by Oracle as a valid way of pinning resources?
-
Use of Enterprise Edition Options or Management Packs: If these are in use, are they correctly licensed, do they match the database licenses for the server in question?
-
Database Edition: Use of Enterprise Edition is key as this mandates that all cores in servers count towards licensing, whereas Standard Editions just count occupied sockets.
-
Matching support levels: Oracle insist under their policies and terms that you must match support levels to be compliant. You cannot have some licenses in active support and others in the same product set that have lapsed or been cancelled.
-
Know your definitions of users: Oracle counts both human and non-human users. It is licensed specifically for named individuals or non-human interfaces. For example, 3 different shifts with 10 different named employees on each would require 30 licenses.
