Ethan This 10 day grace only applies to Clusters/Failovers not Standbys. So unless your DR is in a Global Cluster you can't apply the 10 days grace.
As for a Hot standby DR site where the server is larger than the Primary server, I would think it reasonable to pay for the size of the Primary. But knowing Oracle, they might want you to pay for the 12 CPU model. ta tony At 08:39 AM 16/01/2003 -0800, Post, Ethan wrote: >This is interesting... > >So in the event of a true DR where a DR center has servers co-located and >are available for hundreds of potential customers do we need to pay for the >license on the box we use at the DR center if it is used more than 10 days a >year?
