If you open read only, it's not standby. You must then license its
operation in the second site.
You can certainly "catch up" the standby db manually (or by your own
script) and that does not incur a license extension. It's part of the
standard functionality of any db with recovery on.

By all means let us know outcome.

Standby does not need to point anything with SE. It's a recovered db in a different system. The location of that system is immaterial. The original db is not a standby for the standby. Of course: all that changes in true DG but that is not the point here.
