We have someone within Change Management who owns an Excel spreadsheet.
A lot of people have read access to that spreadsheet.
We (DBA's) are not allowed to install Oracle on a server until the =
server name appear on that spreadsheet.
The owner of the spreadsheet has to have seen evidence from either =
Purchasing or our Oracle account manager that licenses have been =
purchased before he updates the spreadsheet
This seems to work very well, even within a large orgainisation with =
multiple methods of acquiring both the software and the licenses

Subject: How do you evidence Oracle Licences purchased ?
Till a few years ago, Oracle used to provide us a Licence Order Form=20
detailing the licences purchased.
Apparently, for the past few years, the only evidence of the Licences=20
purchased has been in the
actual Invoice -- and this invoice, in my organisation, goes direct to =
the=20
Finance Dept, even
if seperate groups/OUs have purchased licences.
Although the purchaser does send me information on the CSI which he=20
receives from Oracle Support,
and I enrol myself as the MetaLink administrator for that CSI, this, in =
my=20
opinion wouldn't be
adequate evidence of the products and Licence quantities [Users or=20
Processors] purchased.
[Printing the "List Licences" listing from MetaLink doesn't help as=20
quantities aren't presented -- in
fact a recent purchase of EE + RAC + Partitioning just showed up as=20
seperate "Oracle Enterprise Edition"
entries, without the actual Option and the Processor counts].
So my question is, if seperate groups within your organisation purchase=20
Oracle Licences, how do
you get evidence of the Products and Licence Quantities and actual file=20
*paper evidence* of it ?
