Mark noted that people who have installed standard edition are not able to use those features at all. I don't know standard edition, have never worked with it.

Mark's explanation seemed to mean that the OEM product under standard doesn't include any of the screens that would violate the licensing if you attempted to use those features under standard.

Or are you saying that "some" people can and do use those features even though oracle doesn't allow you to license them.

If that is the case, this is really a seriously messed up situation. Received on Fri Oct 06 2006 - 12:21:01 CDT
