RE: Number of processors and standard edition
Its worse than that - he's dead Jim. Ooops sorry wrong reference. The obnoxiously worded licence agreement states that std edition can only be licensed on a machine 'capable' of a maximum of 4 processors. If you have 2 processors in a chassis that can take 8, the agreement says that you need EE. There is also a RAM limit IIRC 4gb. You may guess that I object to this stance. My reasons are 1. You should licence according to functional need not horsepower of box. N archive log destinations is not a function of Y processors. 2. There is no difference between machines with 2 processors in a 2 processor chassis and 2 processors in an 8 processor chassis. 3. Its all too expensive anyway. EE is the best marketing reason on the planet to adopt MSSQL. 4. I don't believe that any reasonable court will uphold the "ah but you *could* put 32 processors in there at some point I'll charge you 300% more for what you actually have" argument. 5. reasonable courts may not actually exist.

Re: Number of processors and standard edition
I'm pretty sure that SE will run on any size server, but you'll be charged for EE when that server has more than 4 CPUs... :-) You'll see info for this at "http://oraclestore.oracle.com"; when you try to price an SE license on a per-processor basis.

RE: Number of processors and standard edition
My memory is 4 ... and with typical Oracle Licensing Shennanigans attached ... I remember a few cases from 2001 where clients where arguing whether SE could be licenced for up to and including 4, or up to but not including 4. But given that's a two-year-old memory, I can pretty much guarantee Oracle licencing has changed 28 times since then :-) Ciao Fuzzy :-) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Farnsworth, Dave > Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 18:04 > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: Number of processors and standard edition > > > I am trying to find any info on if there is a maximum number > pf processors that a server can have and have Oracle standard > edition run on it.
