Lime Middleware
Clear Visibility for Oracle Middleware Licensing
Accurate, independent inventory of Oracle Middleware and WebLogic deployments.
Designed to support licensing reviews, audit preparation, and informed commercial decisions.
Clear Visibility for Oracle Middleware Licensing
Oracle Middleware licensing is often complex, fragmented, and difficult to validate — particularly in environments where WebLogic, SOA, OSB, and other Middleware components are deployed inconsistently across servers and clusters.
Lime Middleware provides a clear, evidence-based view of Oracle Middleware deployments, helping organisations understand what is installed, where it is running, and how it aligns with Oracle licensing requirements. By consolidating Middleware inventory into a single, structured view, Lime Middleware removes uncertainty and supports confident decision-making.
Remove Uncertainty from Oracle Middleware Licensing
Lime Middleware performs agentless discovery of Oracle Middleware environments and presents the results in a clear, standardised format suitable for licensing assessments and audit preparation.
It enables organisations to:
Identify deployed Oracle Middleware products and editions
Understand deployment scope across servers, clusters, and environments
Support licensing reviews with consistent, defensible data
Reduce risk caused by incomplete or assumed Middleware inventories
Key Features
Agentless Middleware Discovery
No agents, no disruption. Lime Middleware collects data safely without impacting production environments.
Oracle Middleware Product Identification
Accurate detection of Oracle Middleware products, including WebLogic Server and associated components.
Deployment Visibility
Clear insight into where Middleware is installed — across hosts, clusters, and environments.
Audit-Ready Reporting
Standardised reports designed to support internal reviews, audit response, and commercial discussions.
Independent & Oracle-Focused
Built by Oracle licensing specialists, with no commercial incentive to oversell licences.
Why Oracle Middleware Licensing Is Complex
Oracle Middleware licensing varies significantly depending on edition, deployment model, and product grouping. Small differences in edition or packaging can result in large licensing and cost implications.
Without accurate inventory data, organisations may:
License more than required
Misinterpret edition entitlements
Miss licensable deployments
Struggle to defend their position during audits
Lime Middleware exists to remove that ambiguity.
Oracle Middleware Licensing Overview
The table below highlights key differences between common Oracle Middleware licensing categories. This is illustrative and designed to show why accurate discovery matters.
Oracle WebLogic & Middleware Product Categories
Understanding WebLogic editions and packaging is critical for accurate Middleware licensing.
Internet Application Server Edition
Legacy application server edition that requires Oracle WebLogic Server to operate. Commonly encountered in older Middleware deployments.
Licensing impact: restricted use, dependent on WebLogicWebLogic Basic
Entry-level WebLogic edition bundled with other Oracle products and limited to specific use cases.
Licensing impact: limited functionality, strict conditionsWebLogic Standard Edition
Core WebLogic functionality for standalone deployments without advanced clustering or security features.
Licensing impact: processor or user-based licensing appliesWebLogic Enterprise Edition
Advanced WebLogic capabilities, including clustering, scalability, and enhanced security features.
Licensing impact: higher cost, broader deployment scopeMiddleware Suite Products
Bundled Middleware products built on WebLogic, often including SOA, OSB, or Identity components.
Licensing impact: complex metrics, clustering and security includedHow Lime Middleware Helps with These Differences
Lime Middleware helps organisations:
Identify which Middleware products and editions are deployed
Understand where higher-cost editions may be in use
Validate assumptions before audits or renewals
Support informed discussions with Oracle using evidence
Rather than relying on spreadsheets or assumptions, Lime Middleware provides a factual basis for decision-making
