Re: Intel Duo Core

Processor shall be defined as all processors where the Oracle programs are installed and/or running. Programs licensed on a Processor basis may be accessed by your internal users (including agents and contractors) and by your third party users. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing, for a Sun UltraSPARC T1 processor with 4, 6 or 8 cores at 1.0 gigahertz or 8 cores at 1.2 gigahertz for only those servers specified on the Sun Server Table which can be accessed at http://oracle.com/contracts, "n" cores shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores by a core processor licensing factor of .25. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for AMD and Intel multicore chips, "n" cores shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores by a core processor licensing factor of .50. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for all hardware platforms not otherwise specified in this section, a multicore chip with "n" cores shall be determined by multiplying "n" cores by a core processor licensing factor of .75. All cores on all multicore chips for each licensed program for each factor listed below are to be aggregated before multiplying by the appropriate core processor licensing factor and all fractions of a number are to be rounded up to the next whole number. Notwithstanding the above, when licensing Oracle Standard Edition One or Standard Edition programs on servers with a maximum of 1 processor with 1 or 2 cores, only 1 processor shall be counted.

For example, a Sun UltraSPARC T1 based server installed and/or running the program on 6 cores would require 2 processor licenses (6 multiplied by a core processor licensing factor of .25 equals 1.50 which is then rounded up to the next whole number which is 2). An Intel or AMD based server installed and/or running the program on 7 cores would require 4 processor licenses (7 multiplied by a core processor licensing factor of .50 equals 3.50 which is then rounded up to the next whole number which is 4). Two multicore servers, for hardware platforms not specified above, installed and/or running the program on 10 cores would require 8 processor licenses (10 multiplied by a core processor licensing factor of .75 equals 7.50 which is then rounded up to the next whole number which is 8).

For the Healthcare Transaction Base program, only the processors on which Internet Application Server Enterprise Edition and this program are installed and/or running are counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the iSupport, iStore and Configurator programs, only the processors on which Internet Application Server (Standard Edition and/or Enterprise Edition) and the licensed program are running are counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required for the licensed program; under these licenses you may also install and/or run the licensed program on the processors where a licensed Oracle Database (Standard Edition and/or Enterprise Edition) is installed and/or running.  With respect to the Customer Data Hub program, in determining the number of licenses required, only processors on which both Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and the Customer Data Hub program are running in production shall be counted.
