What will you be doing with the backup once you get it?
</div>


<div>
For Oracle Standard Edition One, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition<br />
Oracle says:<br />
&quot;.. you may not use the programs for any purpose except the development of a single prototype of your application..&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;...you may not make the programs available in any manner to any third party...&quot;<br />
<br />
When it comes to testing:<br />
&quot;Test Environment: All programs used in a test environment must be licensed under an OLSA or other appropriate Oracle (or Oracle authorized reseller) license agreement&quot;<br />
<br />
So, if it is a backup system that is not part of the actual productive no licenses are needed.<br />
Regarding the above, for example: you create a complete copy of your curent system to be used for &quot;... development of a single prototype of your application...&quot;.<br />
<br />
When the times comes to bring it back to production for that you already have the licenses.<br />
<br />
Of course I would also suggest discussing this with your local oracle resseler since policies change from time to time- for this you need to have an official answer-documented and approved - &nbsp;(just in case) so that you are also typically covered.

That looks like it was copied from some website. &nbsp;If so, you need to provide the link it came from.

<div>
- if you only copy over the backup file from one san to a other san for safekeeping/backup archieving (without restoring for another oracle database machine), that would not require an additional oracle license. <br />

<br />
Just keep it in mind when posting in the future.<br />

Here are the site help pages that talk about this.<br />

question about licence oracle

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.
