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). Note on Minimums: Product Minimums for Named User Plus licenses (where the minimums are per processor) are calculated after the number of processors to be licensed is determined, using the processor definition. All you need to know about Oracle Database licensing with VMware. The calculation rule for the minimum NUP customers have to license is 25 NUP per Oracle Processor for the Enterprise Edition and 5 NUP for the Standard Edition and the Standard Edition One. Are counted as equivalent to a physical core. For instance, licensing 4 Oracle.
Stephen Shankland is reporting that Oracle has on some low-end servers using multicore processors. It's clear that Oracle's move is because Microsoft doesn't charge that way and is making some database inroads.
With any luck perhaps Oracle can be prodded to drop increased software charges for all applications running on multicore processors. It just doesn't make sense. Multicore processing is a hardware advance.
Why should you have to pay more for your applications just because they run faster. It's a weak argument. Intel and AMD invest in the R&D and software vendors get to charge more.
Great deal if you can get it. Charging more for software because it runs on multicore chips means the following: As you upgrade your hardware infrastructure you get whacked with higher software fees. Does that sound fair? According to Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio, software licensing should be based on the number of processor sockets-not the cores. Microsoft is the good guy in this one with Oracle sticking to its multicore story. DiDio says IBM also will do the multicore licensing scheme, but back off if you have enough heft.
'Vendors are responding to demands for more power and better performance by messing with their licensing,' says DiDio. 'Microsoft took the high ground here. A multicore licensing model is going to have a big impact-especially as virtualization takes off.'

Question: What do I do to know the number of cores on my Oracle server? Answer: To know the number of cores you need only look at the cpucount parameter. At install time, Oracle knows if the CPU has core architectures and sets cpucount to the number of cores. SQL show parameter cpu The oracle kernel will determine the number of CPUs on a system during startup. However, some new processors (i.e.
Intel) have dual cores, where we have two CPU's on one chip, and they appear as two processors when they only occupy one slot, while this is good for software performance it can be hazardous to your license, Oracle has stated that they will charge a CPU license fee for the extra cores in multiple core CPUs. Intel Hyper-threading chips are an example of a single chip that appears to be two CPU's to the Oracle kernel. On Intel-based Oracle servers running Linux or Windows, the cpucount is set to double the number of physical CPUs when using the hyper-threading setting of the OS or BIOS. Why is cpucount important? The Oracle cpucount is determined when you start Oracle. The cpucount affects the Oracle cost-based optimizer through many calculated parameters that use cpucount as their basis and are considered every time that Oracle creates an execution plan for a SQL statement. A doubled setting for cpucount can result in changes to your explain plans when moving from a single to multiple CPUs or when you increase the number of CPUs in your system. A single-core hyperthreading CPU counts as one CPU for licensing, a dual-core CPU counts as 2. Oracle Training from Don Burleson The best on site ' ' are just a phone call away!
