		<description><![CDATA[Hi All,
If you bought life long licenses for Oracle database, which is NUP or Proc, then after one year if you want to stop giving money for support(22%) of initial cost, then you can do that, its not illegal and unethical. You will not get support, security updates from MOS.
However, if you bought Oracle licenses for term(1 years, 2 year), then you have to renew it if you are still going to use it after a year. If you continue without renewing, then its unethical, illegal and will come back and bite your ass some day.
Once you stop paying support even in life long licenses, and you wish to renew for support at later stage, you have to pay support for all the years you did not pay for or buy new licenses.

		<description><![CDATA[What is your recommendation to improve servicing more than 5 customers at a time if I have Oracle Standard Licensing Cost for a Low-End Configuration consisting of four Dell PowerEdge 2900 III servers,  each with two 2.5 GHz Intel Xeon E5420 4 core CPUs.  Would increasing the licensing, or hardware, or both?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your e-commerce business is growing fast. You currently have the Standard Edition of Oracle 11gR2 on your server. Your server is having trouble with servicing more than five customers at a time. Write a recommendation letter describing a solution to this problem. Using the configuration shown in Table 4-2 (page 67) to calculate the increase in the licensing cost your solution would entail. If you change the hardware, what would you change?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Neeraj,

We have partitioning license on Prod. But when we checked with below query for viloation on licenses. 

select samp.dbid, fu.name, samp.version, detected_usages, total_samples,
 decode(to_char(last_usage_date, &#039;MM/DD/YYYY, HH:MI:SS&#039;), NULL, &#039;FALSE&#039;, to_char(last_sample_date, &#039;MM/DD/YYYY, HH:MI:SS&#039;), &#039;TRUE&#039;,&#039;FALSE&#039;) currently_used, first_usage_date, last_usage_date, aux_count,
  feature_info, last_sample_date, last_sample_period,  sample_interval, mt.description
 from  wri$_dbu_usage_sample samp,  wri$_dbu_feature_usage fu,   wri$_dbu_feature_metadata mt
 where samp.dbid    = fu.dbid and   samp.version = fu.version and  fu.name  = mt.name and
  fu.name not like &#039;_DBFUS_TEST%&#039; and  /* filter out test features */
  bitand(mt.usg_det_method, 4) != 4    /* filter out disabled features */


Found that Partitioning(system) &amp; Partitioning (user) is True and used for quite long period. Since we don&#039;t have partitioning license on Dev. We never created any partition tables on Dev.

So how exactly we can find out the partitioning license on servers.
Both are Enterprise Edition.

thanks &amp; Regards,

Pathi]]></description>
