Oracle Minimum License Requirements
Minimum license quantities can become critical in an audit by Oracle, writes Julie Machal-Fulks in an article published in Scott & Scott’s Oracle Audit Blog.
For many Oracle products, like Database, the license agreement or ordering documents contain minimum license requirements. Often, quantities of licenses necessary to satisfy the minimum licensing terms varies based on the edition of the license in question. For instance, she writes, customers are required to purchase additional Oracle Database Standard One Edition and Standard Edition Named User licenses in increments of 5. Database Enterprise Edition requires customers to purchase 25 Named User licenses in increments of 25 per processor.
