We want to run a Oracle Standard Edition 2 in a Microsoft Azure environment. How many licenses do we need for the Oracle software?

In this scenario, you have to count one Oracle processor license for each Microsoft Azure CPU. Please note that you may only use an Oracle Standard Edition 2 in a Microsoft Azure environment with up to four Microsoft Azure CPUs. The Oracle Core Factor Table is not applicable for this scenario.
