Above is old info. It’s no longer billed that way. See https://www.oracle.com/assets/cloud-licensing-070579.pdf https://www.oracle.com/assets/cloud-licensing-070579.pdf —- > “ Amazon EC2 and RDS - count two vCPUs as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is enabled, and one vCPU as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is not enabled. Microsoft Azure – count two vCPUs as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper- threading is enabled, and one vCPU as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper- threading is not enabled. When counting Oracle Processor license requirements in Authorized Cloud Environments, the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table is not applicable.” The key is that last sentence.

The document is about cloud licensing. You're replying to a comment about vmotion which most likely means on-premise setup.

It doesn't matter - Oracle is a company that will send lawyers and salesmen your way to threaten and try to squeeze the money out of you. We've had the case where they threathened to double per-core licensing cost of their products just because our developers wanted to use PostgreSQL in their new project. Once they get into your system they'll bleed your time and money with their licensing bullshit. You have better things to do with your company time.

The key is "Authorized Cloud Environments", which is defined in the first paragraph: > This policy applies to cloud computing environments from the following vendors: Amazon Web Services –Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and Microsoft Azure Platform (collectively, the ‘Authorized Cloud Environments’).This policy applies to these Oracle programs. So, only for AWS and Azure.
