Oracle License Buyer's Guide - Licensing Estimation Method - 6 Steps

Oracle Server X5-2 Server

Processor
- Intel^® Xeon^® Processor E5-2630 v3 (20M Cache, 2.40 GHz)
- 8 cores, 16 threads per processor
OS : Oracle Linux (64-bit)
Maximum number of CPUs supported: 2
Actual number of CPUs installed: 1
Number of database users: 100
Database: Oracle Database 12c (12.1.0.2)

Estimate	For Standard Edition 2	For Enterprise Edition
STEP1	SE2 Check hardware limitations Maximum number of CPUs supported: 2 sockets Maximum number of threads per socket: 16 threads -> SE2 may be used since the system supports up to two CPUs.	SE2 hardware limitations need not be checked since Enterprise Edition is used.
STEP2	Check the minimum number of users 10 users per computer (10 Named User Plus) -> Number of users accessing database: 100, hence OK	Check the minimum number of users 25 users per processor (25 Named User Plus) = 1 Processor x 8 Core x 0.5 x 25 NUP = 100 -> Number of users accessing database: 100, hence OK
STEP3	Calculate licensing for Named User Plus JPY 42,000 x 100 persons = JPY 4,200,000	Calculate licensing for Named User Plus JPY 114,000 × 100 persons = JPY 11,400,000
STEP4	Calculate licensing for processor JPY 2,100,000 × 1 Processor = JPY 2,100,000 Maximum number of threads per socket: 16 threads In Oracle Database Standard Edition 2, the number of cores is not relevant, but can be counted based on the number of CPUs installed.	Calculate licensing for processor JPY 5,700,000 x 1 Processor x 8 Core x 0.5 = JPY 22,800,000
STEP5	Named User Plus License vs. Processor License Named User Plus:JPY 4,200,000 Processor:JPY 2,100,000 -> Save more money by buying licenses calculated by Processor!!!!	Named User Plus License vs. Processor License Named User Plus:JPY 11,400,000 Processor:JPY 22,800,000 -> Save more money by buying licenses calculated by Named User Plus!!!
STEP6	First year support fee estimate JPY 462,000 x 1 Processor=JPY 462,000	First year support fee estimate JPY 25,080 × 100 Named User Plus =JPY 2,508,000
