      We’d love to but we do have some legitimate needs for it since Oracle software requires their jvm. It’s a massive pain in the ass.

          You didn’t seem to understand. Oracle only supports their own jvm when running their software that uses Java (e.g. weblogic).

            I know it may not be an easy question to answer, but does your company really owe them money? I’m guessing that their other software that uses their JVM also has a license, so they should be more clear about the company having to license out the JVM in order to use it. This sounds like a scam that comes packaged along with some other software.

              Oh - sorry, Oracle offers a free “entitlement” to use the JVM when used with their software if it’s required. We don’t pay extra for the Oracle JVM.

              It’s not about functionality. When you’re paying for licensing and support you need to use supported versions of things. If you call up about an issue with the database and you’re running an unsupported os or Java version they hang up on you.
