Save money by understanding the Oracle licensing model. Oracle and licenses. The general feeling most of the time is that you pay too much for the use of the Oracle products, and it’s not always sure if you are compliant, because of the complexity of the rules. This – hopefully clarifying – blog is part of a small series and is an updated blogpost of one I wrote a few years ago. Since then the (Oracle) world has changed a bit, felt the need to update, and I will try to give some clarity about the licensing model which will hopefully help you to save money by utilizing your Oracle Environment.
I’ll start with the basics (part I) and then I will treat topics like virtualizing, engineered systems, SE2, Unlimited License Agreements, Cloud and so on. The information in this post is not intended to be used as legal statements or sources for negotiations with Oracle. I will be referring to some other documents and blogposts which can and should be used. The information is not exhaustive but will hopefully give the reader a guide how to cope with the model of Oracle at this moment (2. Subjects in this part 1: Scope : Full Use / Hosting. Development and testing environment.
Prices and contract. Databases species. Types of licenses. Processor / NUP / Employee based. Support Scope: Full Use / Hosting.
The following models are to be recognized: Full Use = end- user license, suitable for running tailor- made applications. The legal entity of the firm is owner of the full- use license. Application Specific Full Use (ASFU) = Example: SAP. You can only use the Oracle software for that particular purpose. Only to be used for specific to be used applications, and the database schema is not accessible to the end user but only to the application (runtime).
Hosting licenses (more detail in a coming post). Generic Hosting. Third party or multi application hosting. Multiple customers. Propriarty Application Hosting (PAH). Single application, multiple customers.
Specified End Users. Hosting Environment dedicated to a single end user. For the Hosting licenses approval is needed by Oracle !
Scope in this post: ! Support costs are calculated of the purchase minus the discount.
You get support as long as you pay the yearly support costs. Oracle has the right to increase the support amount with a few percent a year. So when you are a local customer for a decade or so, the support costs may be substantial higher, and may not be in proportion anymore with the discount you got at the beginning. Licenses without support of perpetual licenses is possible (first year support is mandatory), but then you have got no access to Metalink support, patches and upgrades. Be aware, there’s a huge difference between stopping the support, and eliminate the license.
When just stopping the support, you will still be the owner – in the case of perpetual license – !! This is all explained in the Oracle Software Support policies.
Purchase is also possible for a period of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years (Term Licenses), purchase support is mandatory – which isbased on the price of the perpetual licenses! More on support later on. On www. oracle. com are the so- called . This discount depends greatly on the volume you buy, and there are some fixed .
By the way: the discount is based on the sum of the purchases. When you decide over time to end a part of the purchase, this will lead to a recalculation, and could be influencing your yearly costs, because of stumbling into a lower staggered discount. Prices will be adjusted on a regular basis. Changes will occur within June, see also this blog.
For Europe, changes will also depend on the rate of the dollar. Oracle has also a so- called . Example: you purchased database licenses for 3 servers together with 3 diagnostic and tuning pack licenses. Termination or stopping the support of the diagnostic and tuning pack licenses is not allowed. Those management- packs are linked one on one to the databases, consequence is that you have to terminate or stop the support of the databases as well. Oracle does not pro- actively monitor this at this time. So it helps sometimes to act low- profile.
Most expensive, complete database. Standard Edition 2. Less functionalities, e. But includes RAC. A lot of questions are answered by this blog.
Personal Edition (single user database)Oracle Express edition. Differences in functionality you can see here. Enterprise Edition is required with the following configurations: When the server has got more than 2 sockets or. You are using Oracle Enterprise Manager Packs, like Tuning pack or. You are using Database Options (e.
Partitioning)You have to pay for the Database Options, besides the . As the processors become increasingly powerful and have multiple cores, Oracle has created a “core element”. For Intel and AMD dual- core CPU typically a factor of 0.
Oracle will count this processor as 1 Oracle processor (2 cores x 0. This is no different from the number of CPUs in this case. But customers also uses servers with 2 quad core cpu’s. Suppose this has also a factor of 0.
Oracle will count this as four processors: 2 CPUs x 4 cores = 8 cores. On that server you are free to install multiple databases, regardless of the version!
The processor- based license is paid per server and not per database. Another example: Oracle is not supporting virtual servers, except their own Oracle. VM solution. As a consequence, when using virtualization with VMware for example, the underlying number of hardware processor are calculated.
Extreme example: on a cluster ESX (VMware) with 3 nodes, each with two quad core processors, a VM is created. On a VM is an Oracle database installed, and one (1) virtual processor is assigned. This virtual server is actually only uses one core of the available 2. CPUs x 4 cores). License- wise you pay the underlying hardware (2. When the factor of the CPU concerning is e.
Named User Plus (NUP)What does it mean. This may be scanning robot for example, but also an information board at a station, if it also actively approaches the database. A batch process, however, is not considered as Named User. This is an escape worth thinking of !
But this is negotiable. When you can prove that only a few users in the outside world can have access to the inside, it may be licensed under NUP’s. The name also suspect that there’s a “Named User” license exists without . In the past it did exist indeed, but with the recent licensing change, this was changed in NUP.
A named- user is attached to Oracle software, but with a minimum purchase. You may not purchase a database license with e. Oracle will take the server as base. For an Enterprise Edition is a minimum purchase of 2.
Oracle) required, for a Standard Edition- 2 a minimum purchase of 1. When a customer really wants it, he can buy off the same level of support by switching to extended support. For extended support you’ll have to pay extra: Year 6 after product release: 1. Software Update License & Support. Year 7 after product release: 2. Software Update License & Support. Year 8 after product release: 2.
