license

[Roshan]

Hello Erman,

can you please help me calculate the license price for an Oracle server?

I guess on Solaris and Intel processors the calculation will be different?

Server 1:
processor       : 15
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6

Oracle DB 12.1.0.2

Server 2:
Solaris - ZS7-2 storage
Oracle DB Enterprise Edition
RAC 2 nodes
6 cores each
Golden Gate installed

Thanks,

The important thing is the core factor.
See the table in the following url to calculate your license needs ->

http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/contracts/processor-core-factor-table-070634.pdf

Intel's core factor is 0,5
Core factor for SPARC M5, SPARC M6, SPARC M7, SPARC M8  is also 0,5

See the url above for the details.

Basically if you have 1 physical cpu with 16 core and if your CPU is intel, then you wiill need to have 6 cpu license.

For cpu based license, the general formula is ;

servers * sockets per servers * cores per socket * core factor
