Yes, each pack is licensed separately per processor per host being managed. Monitoring is free. Config mgmt: $3k/processor Change mgmt: $3k/processor tuning pack: $3k/processor Diagnostics: $3k/processor Provisioning: $3k/processor Sooo.... for one 4 processor server for all of the grid control functionality, $60k list. Hey, they'll drop you a 50% discount, to $30k. Spend that across your whole environment, and for one three server environment you're up to almost $100k in licensing costs. Not to mention annual support, etc. What a deal, eh?

The Diagnostics Pack is the only one I would recommend - it includes ASH, AWR, ADDM, etc.: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/opt ions.htm#CIHHIGBI The Diagnositcs Pack currently lists at $3000 per CPU: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/opt ions.htm#CIHHIGBI Regards, Brandon -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joel.Patterson@xxxxxxxxxxx I want them to license OEM Grid.
