Thanks for the reply Niall. If notifications are chargeable, how am I going to licence it? I don't see any management pack that explicitly licenses the alerts. Does this also mean that I cant send alerts from db console if I don't have any management packs. Also, Could you please redirect me to any link that mentions that " notifications are a chargeable item".I don't remember this being specified in licensing doc though. May be I have to read it again. :( Thanks a lot. Regards, Ravi.M On Mon, May 24, 2010 at 9:29 PM, Niall Litchfield < niall.litchfield@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Your understanding is correct.
