I have ordered the Linux version of 11.5.7 and can confirm that no keys are asked for during the installation. The CD pack contains an option to install a sample database called VISION which is a fully populated trial database The VISION database does contain Financials (among many other things). Everything in there seems to work correctly although my tests have not been to extensive as yet.

The install can be tricky, You should really use a supported OS and version. Judging by various posts on the Net, the NT version seems to have an especially evil reputation. I have put online a paper on how to install 11.5.7 on on later versions of Linux - not really for the inexperienced in UNIX or Oracle.
