The change we made in Oracle Database 12c wrt SecureFiles and LOBs is that SecureFiles is now the default. So, when you create a LOB column in a table, if you don't specify BasicFiles or SecureFiles, it will default to SecureFiles. There is no change to licensing requirements - SecureFiles is available in all editions of Oracle Database 12c with no licensing requirements beyond the database license, and using the compression and deduplication features of SecureFiles LOBs requires licensing the Advanced Compression Option.
