Oracle Licensing
Oracle licensing decides how Oracle Database, WebLogic, E-Business Suite and other Oracle software are counted, mostly by processor or by Named User Plus. Articles here cover the core factor table, edition and option rules, licensing on VMware and in public clouds, Unlimited License Agreements and their certification, support renewals, and how Oracle reviews an estate in an audit. Java SE has its own archive, because it is licensed on a different metric: the employee count.
