Individuals can be employees, contractors, but also customers who can make use of the software directly or indirectly through other applications.
If there are non-human operated devices in your architecture, such as sensors, these need to be counted as a named user in addition to the individuals, if such devices can access the product. Our previous guide alludes to Named User licensing. This seems to be simple and can often be determined by looking at the organisation, rather than the software.
However in multi-tier or technical architectures it can be very hard to determine. Oracle software can be at the bottom of the infrastructure and some users might have access to Oracle software without knowing it.
Especially when batching or multiplexing is being used it can be hard to determine. Under named user licensing multiplexing software is not recognized by Oracle, so the numbers needs to be determined at the front end of the multiplexor.
Named User Plus licensing is when the licensee pays per user, but a user is defined as any end-node that receives or creates data from an Oracle database. This can include humans or systems. Named User licensing NU is a license that limits the amount of individuals that are authorized to use Oracle on any server.
Named User licensing is no longer available for new customers, but some organisations may still have this license metric within their current Oracle agreement.
There is a Network License version. It is worth noting that this type of license is no longer available, but users may still have CD license as part of their existing Oracle agreement. This type of license is a restricted license that is sold by an Oracle Solution Provider in conjunction with its third-party application package.
This license would then be application specific and cannot be used for anything else. There are a number of different environments that Oracle products can be installed within, and this impact on the licensing. Users are allowed to use Oracle Full licenses within a development environment. This is a limited license that gives the user the right to develop, but NOT deploy applications using the licensed Oracle products. This also limits users to the use of the downloaded product as only one person can use it.
Only one server can use the software also. The user may not use the licensed products under the OTN Development License in connection with any other form of activity, internal data processing, commercial or production use.
Customers who want to use Oracle software licensed under the OTN Development License for any other purposes must purchase the correct licenses to make full use of the software.
All applications used within a test environment must be licensed under the OLSA or another appropriate Oracle license agreement. The production environment relates to end users for the organisation. All applications used within a production environment must be licensed under the OLSA or another appropriate Oracle license agreement.
If a user purchases a perpetual license not a subscription license then the licensee can pay an annual fee for support.
The support that the licensee then receives gives the organisation the right to contact Oracle directly for support, and also gives the licensee rights to use the latest version of Oracle software.

Linkedin Facebook Twitter YouTube. This model is not available anymore. This license would then be application specific and cannot be used for anything else. Customer should renew the license every year in advance with Application Vendor for avail all the supports and compliance the ASFU license or can be migrated to Full Use FU license with additional cost and renew directly with Oracle or any other authorised Oracle partner.
This license would then be application specific and cannot be used for anything else, should be renewed with application vendor. An end-user may not even be aware that the software package contains Oracle technology and should not be able to access it directly as a developer or system administrator. An example of this licensing model in use may be a Point of Sale system that requires a database to log transactions. Note that the standard Oracle License and Services Agreement only allows use of Oracle software for internal business operations.
Other uses, such as a hosting service or an ASP, will require an agreement that extends the usage rights to cover such scenarios. Oracle have a validation program which provides assurance that their LMS License Management Services team will accept data from certain third party vendor as being suitable for license review purposes. Situations may arise where options in the Oracle technology or applications stack are being used that were not paid for, or where use may be extending beyond the scope of the contractual terms.
Most of these cases occur due to lack of knowledge of the Oracle licensing scheme and a failure of managers to regularly audit license usage. Typically, when your Oracle rep.
It is highly advisable to conduct a yearly audit of servers with a partner that understands Oracle licensing. This section lists some scripts that can be executed to see some of the components that should be licensed:.
Please note that the information provided by this command is not trustworthy on multi-threaded, multi-core or virtual systems. We can take advantage of hourly pricing with no upfront fees or long-term commitments. With Reserved Instances, we can make a low, one-time payment upfront for each database instance and then pay a significantly discounted hourly usage rate. This service model also gives the flexibility to resize the instance based on the needs in cases where the standard capacity requirements are much smaller than periodic, predictable spikes, and this service model allows to scale up to absorb the additional capacity needed and scale down to save on cost.
For example, we might have databases that require the performance of a db. During the last three days of the month, the database might be heavily used due to payroll processing and month-end closing. Thanks lot Mario. Thanks a lot Mario for sharing your knowledge. I see that it is not supported for Oracle 11 and 12 but dont know if it is supported for Oracle 19c.
Yes, it does, it's interesting that for Oracle Many thanks for your quick response Mario, and sharing more information on it. It is indeed a very interesting possibility. What is blocking my mind is this Oracle document, which says it is not supported. Hope you are doing well. This really helps with my current on-going migration project where we are migrating SAP systems based on oracle as-is to AWS. However, Can you help to clarify the below queries? For the supported EC2 types for running Oracle DB, are you aware if the U instance family virtual instances are also supported?
You specifically callout metal. I would think they would be, as there is support for M, C, R etc. I would appreciate your response. By the way, I would be very cautious running my SAP Oracle on a metal server, they might have some limitations for on-demand usage and might request commitment in terms of Reservation compared to regular virtualized environments.

We have made some improvements to the way all of us engage within SAP Community, namely how we share information, how we treat each other, and how we can continue to learn. Technical Articles Mario De Felipe.
February 8, 21 minute read. Updated Dec Introduced Oracle Linux 8. Oracle last release is 8. At the moment, Oracle Database 19c is the most current long-term support release term release.
This is the only supported OS. One of the best benefits of DRS is that allows to achieve business continuity for the most critical databases, including Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server, as well as enterprise applications such as SAP without the need to purchase multiple application-specific replication tools because DRS replicates all applications and databases that run on supported operating systems CloudEndure architecture for Oracle DB on AWS Best of breed functionalities include Automated machine conversion and orchestration Point-in-time recovery Easy, non-disruptive drills Wide application and infrastructure support CloudEndure Disaster Recovery supported technologies Technical documentation All documentation, including video tutorials and FAQs , helps to set up, deploy, and operate DRS Disaster Recovery.
Protection mode Replication Behavior Maximum performance default Asynchronous Primary database performance is not affected by any delays writing redo data to the standby database.
Maximum availability default Synchronous Commit occurs when all redo data needed to recover transactions has been written to the online redo log and to at least one synchronized standby database. If Data Guard is not able to write to the standby database, behavior will be similar to the maximum performance protection mode.
Maximum protection default Synchronous Changes must be written to both the online redo log and to the standby database for every transaction. If Data Guard is unable to write the redo stream to at least one standby, it will shut down the primary instance.
This is a dangerous method only recommended for exceptional situations. This license allows connecting only SAP software to the Oracle database This is completely independent of the hardware infrastructure Processors, Users,etc. The use of virtualization technologies is not relevant for the database pricing as well.
