Question on Oracle processor licensing.

Hi,

Our current production environment both E-Business Suite 11i & Database 9i on 8 CPU Solaris box, now we are planning to Upgrade/migrate to R12 on AIX. As part of the upgrade project we want to build a development environment on VMWare - 2 - CPU P5 AIX 5.3 LPAR. My question is do we have to buy new licenses for 10g database for this new build inspite of being a license customer of earlier release?

Regards

if I understand well, do you want to install VMware on a 2 CPU P5 AIX 5.3 LPAR ?

if so, I do not think you will achieve the installation

VMware is for x86/x64

I think that you have to buy new license for the new platform.
