Gaurav,
To remain legal, you should also have a license for the QA box. It does not
need to be a per CPU license, but you can use a number of users license,
which I believe comes in blocks of 25. The per user licenses for these
machines are considerably cheaper than the per CPU licenses.
The failover machine will potentially be running your live system, so should
also be licensed. Presumably it has a standby database on it or a restore of
the live database in some form, so legally it should be licensed.
HTH
John.

My mistake,
We have license for 2 CPU which is our production box.
Now we want to have oracle for a QA machine which also has 2 CPU, do I
need to take license for this QA instance ?
I am not sure because this machine will not be a production server.
Same question with another instance on a 4 CPU machine, which will act
as a fail over server for production server.
Thanks guys for replying.
Gaurav

I was under the impression that the license was per CPU. So you can have
as many instances as you want, but if you have a 4 CPU box, you need 4
licenses. Not 100% sure though.

Hi Guys,
Need a little favor.
We have a license for our production database running on 9.2.0.6 for
enterprise edition.
Now we plan to set up a QA database and a stand alone database.
Do we need to take separate license from oracle for this two instances?
As per as my knowledge, oracle do not require licenses for databases
other than those on production.
Any help will be much appreciated.
