This applies to both the application owner and to the eventual end-user. In order to qualify for ASFU Oracle licensing , the third-party application must be commercially available to multiple end-users not, for example, exclusive to a certain type of user or group and have end-user documentation. Because the ASFU license is part of a third-party application, this also means all technical support responsibility transfers to the third-party the application owner.
Of course, this also requires the third-party to have maintained their own technical support with Oracle to ensure all patches and updates are included for the Oracle programs under the ASFU.
Maintenance on ASFU licenses can be managed through the provider as documented above or, if the end-user prefers to maintain these licenses themselves, they can be migrated to Full Use at an additional cost from Oracle.
It is also likely that Oracle software covered by an AFSU license will be restricted in what features such as management packs can be enabled. Getting this wrong can create Oracle compliance issues. However, as long as the end-user fully abides by the AFSU software usage terms, the responsibility for compliance with the Oracle ASFU conditions will usually rest with the Oracle partner, as it is their responsibility for ensuring they understand how and where Oracle software can be used within their application in accordance with the ASFU terms.
That said, it can be time-consuming and distracting to have to manage such an audit without the correct inventory and licensing information to hand. How can Certero help you?
