Licensing is by processors or named users. Versions and number of databases don't matter.
As long as you licence for the number of processors OR number of users (one user using all three databases counts as ONE for licensing) you are covered. Support (and access to patches), on the other hand, IS sensitive to the version you run.
Having said that, check with your Oracle Sales consultant if you *really* need to license the server where you will *only test restores* and not put in production use.

Also note that if you are licenced by users, multiple databases *for the same user* are automatically covered.

recoveries. So now we are going to build a separate playground area for these to occur. So if I need oracle 9, 10 and 11 on this box, do I have to pay for a separate license for each?
