The plea deal, scheduled to become formalized at a court hearing on Wednesday, comes as Oracle seeks to appeal a current ruling that slashed a $1. 3 billion civil jury verdict against SAP within the same conduct.
US Department of Justice prosecutors last week charged SAP's defunct TomorrowNow Inc unit with 12 criminal counts regarding the illegal downloads of Oracle software files, according to court papers.
SAP agreed to settle the case last week, even though dollar amount was not revealed in publicly available courtroom filings.
SAP spokesman James Dever declined to comment upon Monday, as did Oracle spokeswoman Deborah Hellinger.
A Justice Department spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
TomorrowNow was the only defendant charged in the criminal case. No individuals had been charged.
The criminal case is part of a long-running lawful controversy involving SAP and Oracle. Last year a municipal jury awarded Oracle $1. 3 billion over accusations that SAP subsidiary TomorrowNow wrongfully downloaded an incredible number of Oracle files.
A judge has since reduced that honor to $272 million.
Oracle requested permission on Monday to appeal that reduction towards the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, according to a good Oracle court filing.
