Hello,
The following is an extract from Oracle 12 Database licensing document published several years ago:
Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may only be licensed on servers that have a maximum capacity of 2 sockets. When used with Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may only be licensed on a maximum of 2 one-socket servers. In addition, notwithstanding any provision in Your Oracle license agreement to the contrary, each Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 database may use a maximum of 16 CPU threads at any time. When used with Oracle Real Application Clusters, each Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 database may use a maximum of 8 CPU threads per instance at any time.
I tried to verify this statement today and although I still can find this info on many blogs and other sites (e.g. here),
it is impossible to find any SE2 CPU limitation directly on Oracle site anymore, except the old doc linked above.
It's quite confusing, does it mean that this SE2 limit was cancelled?
Thank you for answers,
Frantisek.
