Oracle Database Requirements
The embedded Oracle Database license is a restricted license and may only be used or accessed in conjunction with APTARE IT Analytics software.
APTARE IT Analytics software is certified with the Oracle binaries embedded with the software product. Note that the use of the embedded binaries must comply with Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 license requirements, which permits use only on servers (including any virtual server platform) that have a maximum capacity of 2 physical CPU sockets (populated or not). If using a Cloud Provider, Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may be licensed only on Authorized Cloud Environment instances up to 8 virtual cores. Using non-embedded versions of Oracle (for example, installing in other pre-existing Oracle instances) is not a certified configuration and is not allowed by the license grant.
If explicitly licensed for the APTARE IT Analytics with Partitioning, the embedded Oracle binaries are Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with Partitioning. Note that the use of the embedded binaries must comply with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with Partitioning. Using non-embedded versions of Oracle (for example, installing in other pre-existing Oracle instances) is not a certified configuration and is not allowed by the license grant.
If explicitly licensed for APTARE IT Analytics for Shared Services, the APTARE IT Analytics embedded Oracle binaries are not provided or licensed with the APTARE IT Analytics software and cannot be used with the APTARE IT Analytics for Shared Services. End Users are solely responsible for purchasing and licensing the Oracle database binaries required for the operation of the APTARE IT Analytics for Shared Services software.
For APTARE IT Analytics Managed Services Editions, the APTARE embedded Oracle binaries are not provided or licensed with the APTARE IT Analytics software and cannot be used with the Managed Services Editions of APTARE IT Analytics. Managed Services Partners are solely responsible for purchasing and licensing the Oracle database binaries required for the operation of the APTARE IT Analytics Managed Services Editions software.
