Oracle licensing tools

Avoid Oracle audits, save millions.

Oracle-verified tools for your Oracle Database and Middleware estate, used by Lime Software's independent consultants to get you to the right answer fast. Your data stays on your site.

Discovery

Discovery Scan

You can't license, or defend, what you don't know about. Discovery Scan rapidly finds Oracle databases and WebLogic servers across your estate, giving you spot checks and pre-audit confidence, and scoping the deeper Database and Middleware work.

  • Fast: a quick first view of where Oracle is really running
  • Low impact: no agents, and results stay on your site
  • Useful early: before an audit notice, a renewal, or after an acquisition

Find

Open ports

Looks for the ports Oracle uses, such as the database listener on 1521 and WebLogic on 7001, along with other common ports.

Test

Is it really Oracle?

An open port isn't proof. Protocol tests check what is actually answering.

Record

Confirm and list

Confirmed Oracle systems go on the list. Everything else is ignored.

Oracle Database

LimeSquared Database

Audit-ready visibility of Oracle Database options, management packs and CPU usage, designed to give DBAs and licensing teams clear, defensible evidence they can trust.

The tool ingests raw Oracle LMS script output and normalises it across all your database instances, bringing option usage, management pack usage and CPU data into a single, coherent licensing model suitable for audit, compliance and commercial analysis.

  • Options and management packs that are actually enabled and used
  • CPU usage across physical, virtual and cloud estates
  • Oracle verified: data collection verified under Oracle's Third-Party Tool Vendor programme and accepted in formal audit submissions
  • Any scale: from a handful of databases to large ULAs, and an ITAM Review award winner

Fusion Middleware

LimeSquared Middleware (FMW)

Oracle Middleware licensing is complex, fragmented and hard to validate, particularly where WebLogic, SOA, OSB and other components are deployed inconsistently across servers and clusters. LimeSquared Middleware gives a clear, evidence-based view of what is installed, where it is running and how it lines up with Oracle's licensing rules.

  • Product and edition identification, including WebLogic Server and associated components
  • Deployment visibility across hosts, clusters and environments
  • Audit-ready reporting for internal reviews, audit response and commercial discussions
  • Independent and Oracle-focused, with no incentive to oversell licences

Security by design

Your data stays on your site.

We can use any collection technique that suits your environment: scripts your own team runs, collection run in the tool, or exports from systems you already have. Results are held on your own storage and analysed on your site. Nothing leaves until you choose to share it.

No agents, no cloud upload

No agents to deploy and no vendor portal. No data leakage risk, because nothing leaves your infrastructure until you decide to share.

Oracle GLAS verified

Our tooling is verified by Oracle's Global Licensing Advisory Services, so the data it produces is accepted in formal audit discussions.

Independent, and consulting-led. We have never sold an Oracle licence. The tools are how our consultants gather evidence you can defend. You get a clear position and the report, not software to buy and maintain.

How it works

Fixed scope, delivered as consulting.

Professional services with the scope agreed up front. No software licence and no subscription to manage.

Step 1

Scope

We agree what is in scope and how best to collect it in your environment, under your change control.

Step 2

Collect and review

Data is gathered on your site with the technique that suits you, then reviewed by our analysts.

Step 3

Report

We walk you through the findings: where you stand, where the risk is, and your options.

Next step
