Laurent,

That version is a fully featured database which you are allowed to trial for thirty (30) days before purchase. Once you have a licence you can use it for production use with the features that you have purchased a licence for. Unless you are removing features because of licence restrictions, you will have no need to uninstall and reinstall the product. There is no key number to activate the software. If you want the patches, you will need to purchase a support contract along with your licence. I suggest that you confirm this with the online Oracle licence or ring your friendly Oracle sales rep.

P.S. At this stage, France is not on the list of countries to which export of said software is prohibited. :() Received on Thu Mar 18 2004 - 03:23:24 CST
