You will likely need to work directly with your Oracle account team to decide exactly what you need.  There are so many options available under Oracle and just making a simple call to a package might require you to license the option that installed it.

ASKER

Oracle 12c rac DB two nodes
Oracle 12c forms and reports & weblogic  2 nodes
OS is windows server 2012 R2
I have two windows server 2012R2 running oracle 12c rac
I have two windows server 2012 R2 running weblogic and reports and forms and ohs on each node
And they are working async (no cluster)
Which version of weblogic Is 12c
I'm not sure what those posts are trying to tell me.  Again, you should contact your Oracle Account Team.

If you are moving from a non-RAC system to a RAC system, then for starters, you likely need a RAC license.  RAC is included in Standard Edition.
All product are 12.2.1.2
I know what licenses i need my question is what the minimal i need
Like for weblogic and forms,report standard is fine no need for enterprise and what about rac
And what the licenses term processor or core or per user
Oracle licenses per core and per named user.  They have an algorithm for figure out the core charge but I always find it confusing and end up talking to my Account Team.

We cannot answer what minimums you need since we do not know the applications and how they utilize the database.  We don't know how many users you have and what types of users those are.
If you have lots of users, a "per core" or "per processor" license may be best.  If you have only a few users, then a "per user" license may be most economical.  But, this answer may (or may not?) be different for each of your Oracle products.  Since we don't know how many users your organization has now for each of these products, or how many you expect to have in a year or two, or how many CPUs you have in your servers now (or in the future) we can't make those decisions for you.

I agree with slightwv's recommendation that you need to discuss this with the Oracle person (or team) that you get your Oracle licenses from.
This question needs an answer!
