Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RE: License standby database?
HA is different from Standby. Standby is an Oracle DB in recovery, i.e. Oracle running on 2 servers. HA is a DB Server waiting to become the prod DB via shared storage, i.e. Oracle running on 1 server.

I spoke to couple of Oracle Reps and they said as long as you are using the DB for HA environment you don't need to license it separately. I don't know whats going on now.
Cheers,
