Can I use Clusterware without RAC? [message #278114]

I would like to know the licensing scheme of Oracle Clusterware. Is it free for use? Is it provided with Oracle Enterprise Edition?
Is it only provided as a part of a licence for RAC? Can it be licensed seperately?

Plz inform me beacuse I can't find this info on Oracle website.

And I am very confused, is Oracle Clusterware needed to implement Data Guard? Data Guard is provided with Enterprise DB licence, but in the documentation I have found, the steps advise to setup Clusterware and ASM before.

Thanks in advance for any answers

Imo Oracle Clusterware can be used without a special license :
- on a server with the OS Oracle Enterprise Linux
- on a server with another licensed Oracle product installed
- on a server accessing data stored in an Oracle Database
