We agree on seeing the monetary potential for java ownership was going to bite us all.
How many different software apps does your company use that use java? We are digging through our catalog to see if some people do not. We understand that our ERP is based on it, :( and that will cost $$$$$$$ for all of those users. But we have a lot of employees that do manufacturing design and engineering and never really touch LN, the ERP by name. We thought that the ERP was going to shove that fee into our license but this mornings call gave us an empty feeling like they have not even considered it. It is a month and a half away. Our budget is due at the EOW and we have no idea how to account for this GOUGE by Oracle. On Wed, Nov 14, 2018 at 11:02 AM Charlie-gm <[email protected]> wrote: > Crap!
