The Omega Core Audit features two editions:

Standard - basic features, free
Professional - full features, commercial

At first program run the Professional edition is activated for a trial period of 30 days. On trial period expiration the program will switch to the Standard edition.
Professional Edition registration can be done at any time by entering the User / Serial combination which is generated and delivered to the User by DATAPLUS.


LICENSING

Omega Core Audit license is perpetual for both Standard and Professional editions. It allows the customer to use the licensed software indefinitely and not tied to the product version. However, in the Professional edition, you are entitled to new versions and upgrades only if you have a valid maintenance and support contract in place.

Omega Core Auditing for Oracle licensing model is based on the Edition of your Oracle database server, the number and type of the processors and the number of cores per processor, where this late applies, of the machine where the database server resides.

Enterprise Edition Per-core licensing:

If the edition of database monitored is the Enterprise Edition, the licensing model is based on the number and type of processors and the number of cores per processor, where this late applies. The licensing formula is:

Number of Licenses = (Processors) * (Cores per Processor) * CPLF

Where:

Processors Number of physical processors in the machine
Cores per Processor Number of cores per processor (1 for single processors)
CPLF Core Processor Licensing Factor

The CPLF (Core Processor Licensing Factor) value varies from 0.5 to 1.0 for different processors vendors and models and can be seen on the table at the end of this topic. If the “Number of Licenses” has a fractional part, it will be rounded up to the next whole number. This means a minimal number of 1 (one) license is required! For example, an Enterprise Edition residing on a multi-core system with 2 x 4-core processors would require 2*4*0.5 = 4 licenses (for a CPLF of 0.5).


CPLF (Core Processor Licensing Factor) Table

Vendor and Processor ............................................ CPLF

Sun and Fujitsu SPARC64 VI, VII ............................. 0.75
Sun UltraSPARC IV, IV+, or earlier Multicore chips ...... 0.75
Sun UltraSPARC T2 ............................................... 0.75
HP PA-RISC . ........................................................ 0.75
IBM POWER5+ or earlier Multicore chips .................... 0.75

Intel Itanium Series 93XX
(For servers purchased on or after Dec 1st, 2010) ..... 1.0
Intel Itanium Series 95XX ....................................... 1.0
IBM POWER6 ....................................................... 1.0
IBM POWER7, IBM POWER7+ ................................. 1.0
IBM POWER8 ....................................................... 1.0
IBM System z (z10 and earlier) ................................ 1.0

All Other Multi-core chips ....................................... 0.5
All Single Core Chips .............................................. 1.0


Standard Edition Per-socket licensing:

If the edition of database monitored is the Standard Edition or Standard Edition One, the licensing model is based on the number of processors. A processor is counted equivalent to an occupied socket; however, in the case of multi-chip modules, each chip in the multi-chip module is counted as one occupied socket. This means that in the formula above (for the Enterprise Edition) the CPLF and Number Cores/Processor are always 1 (one)!
For example, a Standard Edition (One) residing on 2 Processors system you would require 2 licenses.
