Raj,

Yours is one of many license monitoring questions that keep haunting the list from time to time & I regret that we seldomly get a decent answer. That being the case & the fact that we've just gone through a visit from Oracle License Management Services I asked the LMS rep if he would like to comment on your question. He did send a response, which I will include, but asked that if we have additional questions please contact them at: http://www.oracle.com/corporate/lms/. The web site is not too bad, although a little weaselish at the same time. Anyway, his response:

He also sent an attachment in word format on UPU/CPU licensing if anyone is interested, but I won't post it since ListGuru seems to have a dislike for attachments.

BTW: a visit from these folks is really not that painful. Or at least it hasn't become so yet.

How does one monitor oracle license, is v$license the only option? Is this useful in case of processor based license?

Thanks
Raj
