Some More Information regarding Oracle EBS Licenseing

If licensing by Named User Plus, the minimum is 10 Named User Plus licenses per Processor for IAS EE. In case of numerous users on web applications, NUPS metric is not advisable/ practical to implement.

We recommend the NUPS metric in the Test and Development environment and the Processor metric in the Production and Data Recovery environment.

Oracle Licensing policiy is published at http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/index.html

Policy for modifications and customizations made to the Ebusiness Suite can be found in the application licensing table here - http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/application-licensing-table-070571.pdf

Oracle Licenses some facts

Oracle Licenses is based on the Processor or Named Users.

Normally, if you purchased Oracle Apps EBS after 1 year Oracle Sales team will visit you and ask for you to purchase the Licenses of the Oracle Database Enterprises Edition and the Web Logic Suite (Oracle Internet Application Server). As you all aware that EBS implementation without 1 single customization in India just near to impossible. If you made a single report that is customization, if you put your Logo on Sales Invoice that is Customization (In Oracle words Modification).

If you have made any modification you need to take licenses of Oracle Database Enterprises Edition and the Web Logic Suite (Oracle Internet Application Server). 

If you procure Processor based licenses then the below is the factor :-

Processors/ Sockets or MCM Chips	Cores per processor	Total Cores to be considered	Processor Factor (Based on your Hardware)	Number of Processor licenses required
1	4	4	0.5	2
2	4	4	0.75	3

Or you can adopt the Named User Licenses based on your requirement. 

So, you are requested to kindly inform your management that if are planning the Buy Oracle EBS R12 or any Oracle Application and doing any customization we should be ready to invest around 1-2 Crores based on your users and hardware infrastructure .

Yes you need to procure the licensed for your test instance also.

 

 

Maybe you know the rule: When using Oracle Enterprise Edition database, and want to license by NUP’s – Named User Plus Licenses – you are bound to a minimum of 25 users per Oracle-defined processor. So using a server with one Intel-based quad-core processor (with a factor of 0,5), you have to pay for (4 * 0,5 =) 2 Oracle processors, which is equal to a minimum of 50 users.

This has  been defined in the Software Investment Guide (page 14):

Minimums for this metric may be discrete quantities, or they may be based on the number of processors in the machine on which the software will be installed and/or run. For example, the minimum for the Database Enterprise Edition, the iAS Standard Edition and the iAS Enterprise Edition is 25, 10 and 10 Named Users Plus per Processor, respectively

Let’s stick for a moment on the Enterprise Edition of the database, and the example above. When a second server (1 quad core) is added, also with an Enterprise Edition database on it you’ll have to pay for a total of 100 NUP’s.

But what if I only have got 60 users (non human operating device included) who are directly or indirectly authorized to use those two databases / nodes. Will I pay for 60 users or 100 ? To be sure I asked this question to my contact at LMS (License Management Service at Oracle).

The answer (translated):

100 NUP’s.  Like you do with a single node, you have to count the minimum number of NUP’s (in this case 100) or the number of authorized users, whichever is higher….
