Unable to select Personal Edition in 12c database installer on Windows

DevchitectJan 7 2016 — edited Feb 25 2016

My organization is purchasing some Oracle 12c Personal Edition licenses. I had tried to ensure we are able to install the software correctly on a laptop.

I have downloaded both the SE and EE installers from oracle.com. However when I run either installer, it does not allow me to select Personal Edition, only Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition according to the Installer. Personal Edition is visible, but grayed out and cannot be selected.

I cannot find any information as to why this may be the case. I have found suggestions that Personal Edition has feature compatibility with Enterprise Edition (with the exception of RAC) but given that Personal Edition appears as an option I assume I should not just install EE.

I would be grateful for any advice on this matter.
