Hi List,
Hope all is well. This thread is a follow up to Janine Sisk's question on
Oracle licensing for Personal Use. Since I did not want to hijack the thread, I
am writing a new one. From Norman Dunbar's reply, I understand that I could buy
Oracle Diagnostics Pack (in canada) for Canadian Dollars 111(named user
perpetual license). With the perpetual license (lifetime license), I can get a
CSI for lifetime: meaning I can logon to My Oracle Support and look into all
notes.
The following are my questions in regards to licensing:
1) Is CSI adequate to raise any support ticket or am I restricted to Oracle
Diagnostics Pack issues. I believe the former is not possible, but would like
to confirm it with you.
2) I do not see a version on Oracle Diagnostics Pack. So does it mean, I can
raise a ticket for Oracle Diagnostics Pack issues on any version (ex: 8i, 9i,
10g, 11g, 12g....)?
3) Would buying a personal edition be only option if I have to get the
privilege of raising support tickets (example: Database setup issues)?
4) For personal knowledge update, is it a good idea to install the already free
Oracle enterprise edition (rac/non rac) and get the cheapest available named
user perpetual license for CSI?
Thanks a ton in advance.
Additional Info: I'm presently using My Oracle Support access provided by my
company
Thanks,
Sundar
