That sounds correct.
A quick note about the notion that Oracle LMS might give you something in
writing. I’m not saying they won’t.
But that is not your contract. I would suggest searching up a relevant House of
Bricks presentation regarding your contracts with Oracle.

OEM is free, but that is for a single instance database. So, you can have one
single instance running oem without additional licensing requirements. If you
have a RAC database or a standby, you will need to buy license. Others have
already covered the licensing requirements for additional packs.

You should be able to run OEM anywhere. I have had OEM on VMWare at audited
sites with no flags raised, with the DB’s on OVM or bare metal.
However, I recommend agreement from Oracle LMS in written form, and take care
not to breach any OEM free licensing (like using the Diagnostics/Tuning Pack or
setting up any MAA against OEM itself, which is not licensed.)

Hi All,
Good day. Oracle Enterprise Manager is free as long as there is a valid
support contract. Additional packs like Database Diagnostic Pack and Tuning
pack are purchased for the database which enable certain
pages/functionalities on OEM. Is there any license restriction to host OEM VM
running OEM application along with repository database to reside in the same
vmware cluster as the licensed databases or can it be outside on a different
cluster? Thanks for your time.
