RE: Standby Database Licensing

I am not a license expert by any stretch of the imagination, but in reading the document, I didn't think it was the capability that had to be licensed but rather the fact that you have to be covered by your licensing terms to run Oracle instances on multiple servers. Either that or I have been spoiled by all inclusive site licenses of the Enterprise Edition in the places I have worked and perhaps these options are indeed licensed separately like the partition and object options used to be (or are).

Hi Chris,  

I can't post directly to the list yet. However, this document answers your question. The answer is yes, it must be licensed.

Years ago, I know we could have a standby database without having to license dataguard. If you setup the standby database yourself and used scripts to apply the logs and gap analysis.  

Do any of you know if you are required to license Dataguard now to be able to use a standby database? I was recently told by people in our office that we weren't licensed for dataguard and therefore we weren't licensed for a standby database.  

Thoughts?
