Oracle Middleware Licence Optimisation
Our solutions assist in establishing your baseline position prior to negotiating your forthcoming renewal or true-up for your Oracle Database licenses.
You can be assured that you will receive the appropriate guidance and support regarding your Oracle licenses. Our Oracle License Specialist has been dedicated to assisting Oracle clients for over 25 years.
To facilitate your understanding of your foundational position expeditiously, we have endeavored to maintain a straightforward process.
You will be requested to respond to a series of inquiries along with certain technical details.
The report we generate will provide you with an overview of your current licensing status and highlight the concealed challenges that may arise, in addition to the potential issues you must navigate before initiating discussions with Oracle.
Our service encompasses a consultation with one of our Oracle License Specialists based in Australia, during which we will review the information you have provided.
You may select whether to commence by addressing the questions or by entering the server information into the spreadsheet first, according to your preference. Should you lack complete knowledge of the necessary information, we are available to provide guidance in the right direction.
To initiate the process, please utilize the provided spreadsheet to collect and organize the essential technical details concerning your Oracle Database server platforms.
• Physical Server Name
• Physical Server Model and Processor Make/Model
• Number of Processors and Cores per Processor
• The Metric you wish to employ (Processor or Named User Plus)
• A list of Oracle Options/Packs utilized on the server if Enterprise Edition.
• A compilation of your Oracle Application license entitlements.

Example of the Oracle Processor Definition:
Processor: shall be defined as all processors where the Oracle programs are installed and/or running. Programs licensed on a processor basis may be accessed by your internal users (including agents and contractors) and by your third-party users. The number of required licenses shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores of the processor by a core processor licensing factor specified on the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table which can be accessed at http://oracle.com/contracts. All cores on all multicore chips for each licensed program are to be aggregated before multiplying by the appropriate core processor licensing factor and all fractions of a number are to be rounded up to the next whole number. When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One, Standard Edition 2 or Standard Edition in the product name (with the exception of WebCenter Enterprise Capture Standard Edition, Java SE Support, Java SE Advanced, and Java SE Suite), a processor is counted equivalent to an occupied socket; however, in the case of multi-chip modules, each chip in the multi-chip module is counted as one occupied socket. For example, a multicore chip-based server with an Oracle Processor Core Factor of 0.25 installed and/or running the program (other than Standard Edition One programs or Standard Edition programs) on 6 cores would require 2 processor licenses (6 multiplied by a core processor licensing factor of .25 equals 1.50, which is then rounded up to the next whole number, which is 2). As another example, a multicore server for a hardware platform not specified in the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table installed and/or running the program on 10 cores would require 10 processor licenses (10 multiplied by a core processor licensing factor of 1.0 for ‘All other multicore chips’ equals 10). For the purposes of the following program: Healthcare Transaction Base, only the processors on which Internet Application Server Enterprise Edition and Healthcare Transaction Base programs are installed and/or running must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following programs: iSupport, iStore and Configurator, only the processors on which Internet Application Server (Standard Edition and/or Enterprise Edition) and the licensed program (e.g., iSupport, iStore and/or Configurator) are running must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required for the licensed program; under these licenses you may also install and/or run the licensed program on the processors where a licensed Oracle Database (Standard Edition and/or Enterprise Edition) is installed and/or running. For the purposes of the following programs: Configuration Management Pack for Applications, System Monitoring Plug-in for Non-Oracle Databases, System Monitoring Plug-in for Non-Oracle Middleware, Management Pack for Non-Oracle Middleware, Management Pack for WebCenter Suite, only the processors on which the program that is being managed/monitored are running are counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following programs: Data Masking and Subsetting Pack, all database servers where masked data or data subsets originate must be licensed. For the purposes of the following programs: Application Management Suite for Oracle E-Business Suite, Application Management Suite for PeopleSoft, Application Management Suite for Siebel, Application Management Suite for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, all processors on which the middleware and/or database software that support the respective managed application program are running must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following programs: Application Replay Pack, Real User Experience Insight, all processors on which the middleware software that support the respective managed application program are running must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following programs: Informatica PowerCenter and PowerConnect Adapters, and Application Adapter for Warehouse Builder for: PeopleSoft, Oracle E-Business Suite, Siebel, and SAP, only the processor(s) on which the target database is running must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following programs: Data Integrator Enterprise Edition, Data Integrator Enterprise Edition for Oracle Applications, Data Integrator for Oracle Business Intelligence, Data Integrator for Big Data, and Application Adapters for Data Integration, only the processor(s) where the data transformation processes are executed must be counted for the purposes of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following program: TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache, and TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache for Oracle Applications, only the processors on which the Times Ten In-Memory Database component of the In-Memory Database Cache program is installed and/or running must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following program: Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle GoldenGate for Oracle Applications, only (a) the processors running the Oracle database from which you capture data and (b) the processors running the Oracle database where you will apply the data must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following program: Oracle GoldenGate for Non-Oracle Database, only (a) the processors running the non-Oracle database from which you capture data and (b) the processors running the non-Oracle database where you will apply the data must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following program: Oracle GoldenGate for Mainframe, only (a) the processors running the database from which you capture data and (b) the processors running the database where you will apply the data must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following program: Oracle GoldenGate for Teradata Replication Services, only (a) the processors running the database from which you capture data and (b) the processors running the database where you will apply the data must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purpose of the following programs: Oracle Golden Gate Application Adapters, only the processors running the source Oracle or non-Oracle database(s) from which you capture data must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. In the instance of multiple source databases, all processors for all sources must be counted. For the purpose of the following programs: Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data and Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data Targets, only the processors running the source Oracle or non-Oracle database(s) or NoSQL repositories from which you capture data must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For any messaging systems from which you capture, every 25 queues/topics are counted as a Processor. In the instance of multiple source databases, NoSQL repositories, or messaging systems all processors for all sources must be counted. For the purposes of the following program: Audit Vault and Database Firewall, only the processors of the sources which are protected, monitored or audited must be counted for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required. For the purposes of the following Program: Verrazzano Enterprise Container Platform, all processors in the nodes in the Kubernetes clusters where Verrazzano images are pulled must be counted when determining the number of subscriptions required. If any Kubernetes node is a virtual machine, then the number of processors on that Kubernetes node is subject to the guidelines documented in the Oracle Partitioning Policy (https://www.oracle.com/assets/partitioning-070609.pdf). In the case where a Kubernetes cluster is used as a dedicated Verrazzano Admin cluster and no managed workloads are run in that cluster, nodes in that cluster can be excluded from the count of processors that require a subscription. Application Developed: is defined as a software program developed by you that operates on smart-phones and/or other end user devices and that (i) provides end users with access to content or (ii) provides end users with end user transaction enablement or (iii) otherwise enables use by end users of functions available through the Oracle run-time Program.
