Re: Oracle SE on VMs

A couple of years ago, when I had to look into this, it was as follows:
- you license the host server, not the VM's it runs.
- so if your host has 4 sockets (don't care how many cores per socket), you
just purchase one SE license for that host.
- You can then implement as many VM's running Oracle SE as you like on that
host.
I believe though that the host is not allowed to be part of a VM-farm. It
should be in it's own farm. Otherwise you're going to have to count all
cpu's in the farm.

But things might have changed...
