RE: Oracle license requirements for unused options

You can check the MGMT_ADMIN_LICENSES view to verify if someone has clicked "yes" in the dbconsole when asked if a license was available for the management pack.

Don't know if there is a flag set when running the awrrpt.sql script or when selecting directly from the hist* tables.

Subject: RE: Oracle license requirements for unused options

Revisiting this thread from back in May... Does anyone know of a method in 10g to check whether a Diagnostic Pack option was ever used? I'm concerned that someone might at some point have run an awrrpt on a dev database without realizing that required a license and want to check whether it has ever happened.

For 11g Oracle provides scripts to check this (option_usages.sql) but they don't seem to work in 10g.

Appreciate any help in advance.

BTW - people might find this of interest: http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/news/2240035131/Common-traps-in-Oracle-licensing-audits I have verified that when we uninstall certain options and then patch the database the options come back.

Thanks,
