Operating Systems Solaris Oracle DBA licensing on Solaris 11 LDOMS Post 303006924 by jim mcnamara on Thursday 9th of November 2017 06:40:16 AM

It's been several years since I encountered this, but it is based on number of cores and core type, on the base hardware, plus user count. So you do not get into serious licensing problems, there is a support group at oracle that works on this problem.

Do not try to figure it out by yourself. Oracle has the legal right to run unannounced audits on their product's installation and run modes.

They will send you software to run as the root user on Solaris. It creates two files, as I remember. Oracle analyzes the output and then gives you precisely what you require for licensing.

The reason it is a mess, IMO, is that you can purchase oracle under several different licensing regimes, e.g., per user seat versus per core. And you can play mix and match. We actually were over licensed and saved about $US90k per year.
