I believe that’s correct. But keep in mind that also IFL’s on a DR system (active or CBU) can be seen (by Oracle) as real cores Oracle can run on. So if you have 5 active IFL’s and 5 CBU IFL’s on a DR machine this could mean that you need licenses for 10 IFL’s….. But as Kurt said, this depends entirely on the negotiations with Oracle.
