To break down the costs

and to enable all stakeholders to make optimal licensing and configuration decisions, you need a Software Asset Management (SAM) Compliance Review of the deployed Oracle software on servers along with a review of your corresponding license documentation and licensing needs. The purpose of Oracle License Compliance Review is to identify possible legal and other risks associated with installed and used Oracle software and provide recommendations to reduce them.
