We want to use Oracle Mobile Server in a Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) environment. How do we have to count the licenses?

In this scenario

  • two vCPUs equal one Oracle processor license, if hyper threading is enabled
  • one vCPU equals one Oracle processor license, if hyper threading is not enabled

The Oracle Core Factor Table is not applicable in this scenario.
