Flexera has enhanced Oracle license position calculation rules in FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R2.1 to include Oracle software licensing in the cloud computing environment under BYOL. These updates will enhance the license position calculation of Oracle Database Enterprise and all Standard editions running in the public cloud and licensed to use Oracle Processor Or Named User Plus license metric under Oracle BYOL use rights for the authorized public cloud.
To support these changes in Content libraries, we have now released few SKU/PURL updates with the required changes in PURL for Oracle NUP and Processor metrics.

Here is the release calendar for SKU, PURL and Bundle content library releases. Everyday Content team works to incorporate new SKUs (Stock Keeping Unit) that identify specific software, Bundles that groups relevant applications according to vendor literature and update PURLs (Product Use Rights Library) that are needed as these impact license definitions, logic and coverage, and thus, your ultimate license position.
Currently, we follow a monthly cadence and choose to release an updated version of SKU, PURL and Bundles library on 4th Friday of every month.

The latest SKU/PURL/bundle build 471 is available at PLC 2.0 for On-Premises customers, but the build is not yet reconciled on US and EU clouds and hence Cloud customers may not be able to access the latest updates.
This issue has been looked at internally and the error is identified. The plan is to generate another build with the fix. We hope for this issue to be fixed in next three working days and will continue to provide updates.
