Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Standby db license for 8.1.6
I had a similar conversation with my Oracle rep.
The conclusions were:
if you have a database running on a machine, even if it is a standby database that no one logs into, you need a license for that machine.
You can, however, install the Oracle binaries on a backup server, and not have to pay an additional license fee, if you do not have any databases open in any form on that machine
