Unfortunately, a lot of the better new features are all extra-cost options. It can be pretty difficult to keep track of what is OK to use since so much of the extra-charge items come included with the database like the AWR. It is there and Oracle automatically collects data but if you want to look at it you need the EM Diagnostic and/or Performance Pack options.
