Licensing during Oracle migration to new hardware.

ElvindmxMay 20 2025

Hi folks,

We are planning to migrate our Oracle dbs to a new hardware infrastructure. In terms of licensing for the new hardware, we already made sure we didn't exceeded the licensing capacity, but during the migration there is a period of time(probably 2 months) in which both environments(current hardware + the new one) will be up and running. We are planning to setup up Data Guard and do a switchover for the cutoff, so the new hardware will be the primary and the old one will be the standby, until we are sure everything is working fine and then we will decommission the old environment. My question is, during this migration, do i need to purchase extra licenses?

Specs:

DBs: 3 Oracle 12c EE single instance

OS: RHEL7.6

Licensing schema: Processors perpetual

Regards.

DMX
