The short answer is you can't. If you installed your database correctly,
and you did indeed install standard edition 2, and not enterprise edition.
That's about the only thing you could accidentally do wrong here.
Note that you can't install EE, somehow only use SE features, and in turn
only pay for an SE license. The edition is determined at installation time.
Anything listed in dba_feature_usage_statistics would not really matter,
since all the EE-only features are effectively disabled on SE. You can't
use them even if you tried.

We created an new oracle instance, standard edition 12.2.0.1.0 on Oracle
Linux 7.7 and we want to make sure we aren't using any features we aren't
supposed to use.
My questions are:
1. How do we go about validating the license on a database?
2. I’ve seen some references to licensing validation with Doc ID
1317265.1, however that document doesn’t seem to be accessible anymore, is
there another document, script out there?
3. I was querying DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS and noticed the feature
names don't necessarily match the names in the online licensing document
(e.g.
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/12.2/dblic/Licensing-Information.html#GUID-0F9EB85D-4610-4EDF-89C2-4916A0E7AC87)
- for example DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS shows that 'Adaptive Plans'
have been used, but the document only references 'Adaptive Execution
Plans'. Are these the same? How can we reconcile differences in feature
names?
Thanks,
Carl
