Sorry. Mispoke. You are correct. By licensing the database, you license
dataguard. But, as I understood his example, he was going to create a
standby database that was not licensed.

Thanks

Subject: RE: RMAN catalog

Data Guard doesn't require a license - it's included with the EE
database, so if the EE database can be used for a recovery catalog under
the "Special Use Licensing" documented here:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions
.htm#BABJBGJE

Then I don't see any reason why you couldn't run Data Guard on it too.
There are no limitations given in the above document about not being
able to use any features of the database under this special licensing,
so I think it's safe to assume it's okay unless they tell you otherwise
in writing.  I don't think I'd even bother asking them about it - it
seems fairly clear from the docs that it's okay.  If they audited you
and decided it was a violation, then you could just shutdown the standby
instance if/when they told you to.

From my understanding, no licensing is required for a database that is
solely used to support Oracle infrastructure.

Now you have raised my curiosity as far as Active Dataguard..

Probably will need to check with account reps.
