Licensing Exposure & Re-architecture Advisor

Reads an RVTools export straight from vSphere - hosts, clusters, virtual machines, CPU models and power states - and flags every virtual machine that looks like a licensed database for you to confirm.

Costs all three readings of Oracle's partitioning policy side by side: the cluster the database sits in, every host that can see the same storage, and every host the management server touches. The spread between them is your negotiating position.

Applies the Oracle processor core factor table per host, from the CPU model, and shows the arithmetic beside the answer.

Sizes the dedicated cluster that would end the exposure, and prices it: how many hosts, how many processor licences, how much less.

Microsoft per-core with the Product Terms minimums, Windows Server Standard against Datacenter at your real virtual machine density, and the Software Assurance mobility trap that makes every host in a cluster licensable for SQL Server.

Broadcom per-core subscriptions with the 16-core-per-CPU minimum, so you can see exactly how many core licences a year you are paying for cores that do not exist.

Every finding cites the vendor document it rests on, with the date the reference was last checked, and the export carries the full source register.

A price book of published list prices you can override line by line with the rates you have actually negotiated.

Word assessment, Excel workings, PowerPoint summary and machine-readable JSON from one analysis, so the report, the workbook and the deck never disagree.

Beyond the big three: Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu Pro and Oracle Linux subscriptions with the per-guest against per-host crossover, and IBM Db2 at full capacity against sub-capacity - the trap Oracle sets, but with a published way out.

Every platform, not only VMware: Nutanix AHV, Hyper-V, Proxmox, XCP-ng and the hypervisors Oracle ships. Each cluster asks for the fields its platform actually has, and hard-partitioning platforms are treated as the boundary they are.

Charts and a boundary diagram that show which hosts your databases make licensable, so the point lands before anybody reads a number.

Planning tool, not legal advice - and it says so on every page, because the point is to be handed to a reseller or a licensing advisor, not to replace one.
