Oracle Licensing for a server with Quad Core Processor

I know Oracle Standard Edition ONE is only licensed to install on a server with a max of 2 processors.
1) Now when it comes to the type of processor does it matter what type of processors they are ?
2) Can we have 2 Quad Core Processors on the server and install the Standard Edition One ( and comply to Oracle Licensing) ?
Please do not direct me to Oracle Sales Rep, I want inputs from the Oracle experts from this forum

Please do not direct me to Oracle Sales Rep, I want inputs from the Oracle experts from this forumUnfortuinately, no matter what you hear on the net, it ain't worth anything in front of a judge. Therefore you MUST get the final answer from someone with authority to speak on behalf of Oracle - and that is a Sales Rep.
However, in the mean time, you can read http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/sig-070616.pdf .
SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT PAGE 15. Many people (including some in this thread) are totaly wrong about how Standard Edition is licensed.

Oracle license for VMWare server

A vendor is telling me I can not put their Oracle database on a VMWare server because it is only licensed for one CPU. I tried to explain I could set the VMWare session to only use one CPU but they said Oracle will not allow that. They have already proven it runs fine on VMWare but refuse to budge saying it is a dumb Oracle licensing requirement.
Is this really true? Is it OK to use a product utilizing an Oracle database licensed for a single CPU to run on a VMWare server if I restrict the session to use only one CPU?

Yes, this is correct. When using Oracle products in a virtual environment, you must count the amount of CPU-cores within the complete environment and/or cluster. So not only the single CPU which was assigned to your virtual server. The idea behind this calculation is simple: you can not guarantee that your virtual server will not consume more CPU power in the near future. You are able to assign more CPU's on the spot.
If you need more info or help buying the right amount against the right price, feel free to contact me at: [email protected]

I have a HP Pavilion p6710f with an AMD Athlon Quad-Core processor takes 10 to 12 minutes to boot

I have a refurbished HP Pavilion p6710f desktop, with an AMD Quad-Core processor. About 4 weeks aog I reformated the HD and reinstalled Windows 7 Prof and the rest o my software and it ran fine for about 2 weeks then it started taking 5 to 10 minutes to boot up in morning or to restart. I had downloaded a couple of things and I uninstalled them and it did better, but gradually over the last week it has started taking 10 to 15 minutes to boot up or restart. With either it takes a few seconds to get the HP stuff in the middle of the monitor, then in a few seconds it loads the choices (Function keys for setup, recover, etc.) then it takes 4 to five minutes to show "windows loading" the 3 to 4 minutes to show the 4-colored windows logo and then up to 5 minutes to load my icons and be ready to run--once all this is done everything runs fine until I need to restart, and then it is 10 to 15 minutes again to get up and running.
When I redid everything about 4 weeks ago I made an image on an external 1 Tb HD that is always connected thru a UBB Port and this morning I recovered and It reinstalled it, but it did not help.
Don't think it is the BIOS battery as it doesn't lose time.
Hope someone can help me

Oracle License for SE and SE1

Dear All,
Just confused after reading multiple documents that Oracle license for SE and SE1 is based on Sockets and not on CPU cores like EE.
So my question is If have 2 socket motherboard and I install 4 CPU cores on these 2 sockets. How should i obtain license from Oracle for SS and EE?
Like only for 2 sockets into per socket license cost for SE? (2 CPU cost for SE)
But for the same machine and for EE edition I have to buy license for 4 CPU cores? (4 CPU cost for EE)
Is this understanding correct?
Also please guide me how to license Logical standby in case if reports are running from Logical standby and if this logical standby is ONLY brought into use when production server fails. What is the difference?
Thanks a lot.
Regards, Imran

by my understanding, Oracle for linux is free for development purpose only. you can use it as long as you are using it only for development. howver, you have to buy proper licenses if you want to deploy it in a production env.
Oracle 8i is several hundreds Meg in size. depending on your internet connection, you may want to request a free CD.

Hi,
I had PostGresql database installed on my Linux machine. And have MS Access database from Windows 98 connect to the PostGresql database. For some reason it is too slow. So I decided to try Oracle for Linux, and I heard peoples told me that Oracle for Linux is free. I had used Oracle in windows environment, and It's very fast. So probably oracle on linux machine and have MS Access connect to it using ODBC should be fast too.
My point is Oracle for Linux is free? and for how long, and for how many concurrent users? To install it, should I download it from the Oracle web site, or should I install it from a CD-ROM?

I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin. However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Newly bought Xperia C3, responding slowly for a quad core processor phone.

My Xperia C3 is just a week old sincebI bought it and my very 1st Sony phone. Doing simple task is so annoying because of phones slow response to command wether doing browsing to text messaging, i would have to wait for the right screen to come up, or even from stadby mode to making a call, or txt, it responds so slow.. Totally different from other brand of quad core processor I've tried. My phone memory or sd card memory is is not even 1/4 full. Why is this behaving like this?
Could someone Sony-brilliant user or support personnel help me on this please. Kindly help me make my Sony experience a better one.

My Samsung Galaxy S1, which is still fully functional up to now, does not even have a quad core processor, but its not slow like this C3. Same with Lumia 520 & 630.. So I don't know why would a new phone behave like this... Really annoying

Oracle licensing question- per server or instance?

We have 2 vendor/3rdparty applications that uses oracle database and purchased oracle licenses for both. They used to run on separate servers. Last year we consolidated these two oracle instances on a single server. Now we are looking to add a 3rd and 4th vendor/3rdparty application using oracle database. All require Oracle 9i Standard.
Is the oracle licence valid for the server and all instances running on it ?
or
Is the oracle license valid per instance? In other words, are we required to purchase a 3rd and 4th license for the new application instances being added?

Oracle Database licensing is based on named user OR on number of processors. See http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/databaselicensing.pdf

Quad-Core Processor useful for Lightroom?

Hi
I need to upgrade my PC in a couple of months time and I was wondering if there is any merit in going for an Intel quad core processor. Intel are reportedly almost halving the price of the Q6600 to $266 on the 22nd of July.
Does anyone know if Lightroom can take advantage of all 4 cores? Or, am I better off getting a faster Dual Core processor for the same price?
Regards, Nigel

I see that Jeff Schewe mentioned that he was getting a 2xQuad Core (Octa Core?) machine so there must be some benefit in more than 2 cores.

Hi, I am going to buy a new iMac desktop. I am going for the 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16 GB RAM and 2TB ATA Drive. I want to know whether I should go for the dual drives option i.e including the 256 GB SSD. I do a lot of 'heavy' media work. Brian

Hi, I am going to buy a new iMac desktop. I am going for the 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16 GB RAM and 2TB ATA Drive. I want to know whether I should go for the dual drives option i.e including the 256 GB SSD. I do a lot of 'heavy' media work.

by looking at the specs the laptop is better but if your not a gamer or graphics designer then you most likly wont notice a difference in the performance at all so with that said a few downsides
the processor is i5 the i7 processor is the better processor the graphics card has half the dedicated memory that the laptop has and the hdd compared to the solid state is not much of a difference unless you wanna move your computer all the time you wont need a solid state drive
but like i said before if your not a gamer or graphics designer on your computer you will not notice the difference most likely

Quad Core Processors x Oracle

Hi,
I am installing Oracle Enterprise in a machine with 2 quad core processors. Does any one know how to specify that Oracle uses only 1 quad core processor?
Thanks

I am using Red Hat, which I think can do CPU affinity.
But it seems that Oracle has two hidden parameters ( enabledefault_affinity and _affinity) that could be used. Does anyone has ever used them?

VISTA Support for Multiple Dual Quad Core Processors

Sorry if I missed this in my search.
Does Windows Vista Home Basic support dual quad core processors?
Windows Help & Support:
Under System, you can view the processor type and speed, as well as the number of processors installed, if your computer uses multiple processors.
Yet I see no mention of multiple processors there -- what am I missing?

Hi -g,
all Windows Home versions (XP and Vista) only support one physical prcossor with multiple Cores.
Windows Professional versions (XP Professional and Vista Business+Ultimate) support two physical processor with multiple Cores each.

Error message after installing an AMD Phenom II quad core processor

1. HP Pavilion Slimline s5120y Desktop PC
2. Windows 7 64-bit
3. "Uncompatible processor installed, shutting down in a few seconds"
4. I replaced the AMD Athlon X2 7750 processor with an AMD Phenom II quad core processor
I had done some research on upgrading my son's computer's processor from an AMD Athlon X2 7750 processor to an AMD Phenom II quad core processor. I checked the compatible processors on the HP website and it showed that the AMD Phenom II quad core processor would be supported. The specs for the Phenom II I bought are: 95 watt / 2.4 GHz / quad core / hyper transport technology / AM2+ socket / integrated DDR memory controller / HD9750XAJ4BGH.
After installing the processor (with thermal paste) I booted up the computer and the message: "Uncompatible processor installed, shutting down in a few seconds" showed up. I tried again and the same thing. Is this processor NOT compatible with this computer or is something else going on?

Please discuss this under desktop catagory for better suggestions and quicker resolution. thank you

Will Illustrator run on 1.8GHz quad core processor?

I am reading that Illustrator CS4 requires a 2.0GHz processor to run. I am assuming that is for a single core processor. I am considering buying a new computer running Vista 64 bit with a1.8GHz quad core processor and 4GB of RAM. Would Illustrator CS4 run ok on such a system?
Thanks,
Bob

I think 1400 by 900 is good since you can run many of the motion graphic programs on such a monitor.
1920 x 1200 is very good but now things have gotten to the point that they have higher resolution available.
So I recommend the highest you need. The reason i say this is that once applications are made multi core worthy and go 64 bit it requires more resources but it will perform better and what I mean by better is not necessarily speed on any one task but the it will offer functions that are not possible on the current cpus with the current application.
It just seems to me you need a little more then what you are getting, a little more so that in the very near future you will not have to upgrade again causing you to end up paying even more that you thought you were saving.
If you understand my logic.
Though the answer to your original question is it can probably run, how well you would probably have to tell us after you get it.

The new 3.0 Ghz Phenom II X4 940 quad core processor and the K9a2 Platinum

Okay! So I have been looking at this processor for a bit, AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Quad Core Processor HDZ940XCGIBOX - 3.00GHz, 6MB Cache, 1800MHz (3600 MT/s) FSB, Deneb, Quad-Core, Retail, Socket AM2+, Unlocked Multiplier, Processor with Fan Link=http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4330959
I have the K9A2 Platinum Motherboard. I have updated the Bios to version 1.6. Now I called MSI and Tiger direct and none of them know if this processor will work with my board. Now I did post a previous thread and every one said I should have come here sooner for answers and that is what I am doing. I looked at Cyberpower PC where they are building this spec with the 3.0 ghz Processor and the K9A2. Now I would like to assume that it will work but with the manufacturer and tiger direct not giving the most accurate information I am worried.
I think it will work just fine but I am double checking before I spend the money.
So guys and gals will my motherboard support this new chip? Does any one have the processor running on the MSI K9A2 Platinum? Bios version 1.6?
Current System Specs
Vista 64 Bit.
AMD Phenom 9600 2.3Ghz quad core. Liquid cooled
MSI K9A2 Platinum MB Bios Version 1.6
6Gb of Ram
8800 GT 512mb Dual Monitor Setup
600 watt power supply
1x 150gb raptor drive 10,000rpm.
1x 300gb Raptor Drive 10,000 rpm.

This might help you find the proper bios a bit easier. http://www.dvhardware.net/article31234.html

How to use Real time execution trace toolkit with Dual-core processor??

hi there
the situation as follows:
i have a computer (PC and Laptop) types with Dual-core processors, and am trying to do simulation using Multi-core technology and based on different simulation scenarios...starting from sequantial processing,.......Piple lining processing strategy. so that i can differentiate the time delay between those types of processing based on (Using 1 processor then dual-core processor Computers)
my question is: As i read through Ni's white papers i saw many notes refer to Real-time execution trace toolkit to investigate the (processing-time , etc) of multi-core processors in processing diffenent algorithms. My algorithms are to be run on 1 computer with dual-core processor BUT, not in real time environments, that is ( No hardware to be connected to my pc) only algorithms running on my pc....
So, is it possible to use Real time execution trace toolkit or anyother tools in LabVIEW to show processing-delays and/or anyother timing critical issues without using my application for real- time hardware.???
in other words: how to use Real time execution trace toolkit in non-hardware and/or real-time scenarios???
please help me in this.
Any suggestion, comments, feedback.....is absolutely highly appreciated
thanks a lot in advance
Labview Lover

Hey,
The Realtime Execution Trace Toolkit only works for NI RT Targets.
But you can use the Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit, just search for it under ni.com.
