Sometimes it could be a problem to deploy/redeploy application from command line.
Sequence that works for me.
1. Stop weblogic
2. Remove all .wlnotdelete (server folder, and application folder)
3. Remove old apploction entries from config.xml
4 .start weblogic
5. issue deployment command

java -Dweblogic.security.SSL.trustedCAKeyStore=truestedcerts.keystore -cp /license/bea:/weblogic/live/server/lib/weblogic.jar weblogic.Deployer -adminurl t3s://admin.server.org:8012 -debug -verbose -userconfigfile WebLogicConfig.properties -userkeyfile WebLogicKey.properties -name APPLICATIONNAME -source /path/to/application/APPLICATION.ear -activate

java -Dweblogic.security.SSL.trustedCAKeyStore=TrustedKeysKeystore.keystore -cp /license/bea:/opt/weblogic/live/server/lib/weblogic.jar weblogic.Deployer -url t3s://myAdminServer.instance.org:7012 -userconfigfile WebLogicConfig.properties -userkeyfile WebLogicKey.properties -activate -name myApplicationName -source myApplicationEar.ear -targets myInstanceName

There shouldn’t be any additional cost on upgrading licenses it depends on Company agreement with BEA.

Additional cost is related to applications and operational environment adaptation to new version.

Benefits:

New versions of technologies are supported: J2EE 1.4 and JDK 1.5 and in 64-bit JVM.

All supported configurations on page:

Comparing to WLS 8.1 (J2EE 1.3 and JDK 1.4 on 32-bit JVM)

New version of JDK gives you performance gain on the same hardware, and possibility to run on new types of hardware and OS.

Good example is multicore Sun Sparc T2000 (http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/se_t2000/index.xml)
