Re: Re: Re Oracle Licensing

In this case the replication is on the storage tier. That is a lot different from Data Guard. Data Guard requires an instance running on the disaster site. Storage replacation does not require that. It is not even necessary that Oracle Software is installed on the disaster site at all. If it is installed, it might no be running. All of that can make a difference. ----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----

A standby database ( and dev databases) has always* been licensable, and in the same way as the primary. The only exceptions will be if you specifically inserted a clause otherwise in your contract with Oracle, or if you are using named user licensing. That is unlikely to say the least. As an example, I offer the EMEA OLSA from June 2000 http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/olsa-ire-v122304-070683.pdf note the definition of processor. I suspect this comes from the wording of the docs when Active Data Guard arrived "*Oracle Data Guard 11g*. Is included with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition - it does not require a separate license . It Includes all Data Guard capabilities from previous releases and many other new features that enhance data protection, high availability, disaster recovery, and utilization of standby databases and systems" The point of which was to distinguish between DataGuard being an EE feature and Active Data Guard being chargeable and not to indicate that DR was free.

And is supposed to have been since 2014? Even though, as long as it wasn't open, a standby never had to be licensed before 2014?
