    Metric attributes

    Attribute Attribute value Attribute value is unlimited Description License metric Metric group
    Maximum installs per right True The number of installs each right can license. Per Named Device Common
    Minimum cores per processor 8 False

    The number of core rights that must be applied to a physical processor or set of vCores.

    Licensable cores = Processors * Max (Minimum cores per processor, Cores)

    		 Per Core (with CAL) Microsoft
    Minimum cores per VM 8 False The number of core rights that must be applied to a virtual machine (VM). Per Core (with CAL) Microsoft
    Maximum active OSEs per server 2 False

    The maximum number of Operating System Environments (OSEs) allowed to run software on a physical server.

    Licenses required = (Licensable OSEs/Maximum active OSEs per server) * Licensable cores

    		 Per Core (with CAL) Microsoft
    Minimum cores per server 16 False

    The number of core rights that must be applied to a physical server.

    Licensable cores = Max (Processors * Max (Minimum cores per processor, Cores), Minimum cores per server)

    		 Per Core (with CAL) Microsoft
    Maximum installs per OSE 1 False

    The maximum number of installs allowed within one of a server's OSEs.

    Licenses required = (Licensable installs per OSE/Maximum installs per OSE) * Licensable cores

    		 Per Core (with CAL) Microsoft
    Minimum cores per processor 1 False The number of core rights that must be applied to a physical processor. Per Core Common
    Maximum size of instance on cloud 8 False Oracle Database Standard Edition, Oracle Database Standard Edition One and Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 have maximum limits on the size of the instances to which they’re deployed on Oracle Authorized Cloud Environments such as Microsoft Azure and AWS. Oracle Database Enterprise Edition doesn’t have any maximum limits on the size of the instances to which it’s deployed to on Oracle Authorized Cloud Environments such as Microsoft Azure and AWS. Per Processor Oracle
    Maximum number of sockets per server 2 False Oracle Database Standard Edition, Oracle Database Standard Edition One and Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may only be licensed on servers that have a value less than the maximum number of sockets. Per Processor Oracle
    Maximum installs per right True The maximum number of installs each right can license. Per Named User VMware
    Maximum installs per right True The maximum number of installs each right can license. Per Named User IBM
    Maximum installs per right True The maximum number of installs each right can license. Per Named User Common
    Maximum VMs per right 2 False

    For RHEL Server, this is the number of VMs running on a physical host that each subscription can license. A single VM running on a host needs one subscription.

    For RHEL for Virtual Datacenters, this is the number of VMs that can be licensed with one subscription for each socket-pair on the physical host.

    		 Per Socket-pair Red Hat
    Maximum sockets per right 2 False The number of sockets on the physical host each subscription can license. A single socket host needs one subscription. Per Socket-pair Red Hat
    Maximum processors per right 2 False

    The maximum number of physical processors each right can license.

    Licenses required = Processors/Maximum processors per right

    		 Per Processor Microsoft
    Maximum active OSEs per server 2 False

    The maximum number of OSEs allowed to run software on a physical server.

    Licenses required = Licensable OSEs/Maximum active OSEs per server

    		 Per Processor Microsoft
    Maximum installs per OSE 1 False

    The maximum number of installs allowed within one of the server's OSEs.

    Licenses required = Licensable installs per OSE/Maximum installs per OSE

    		 Per Processor Microsoft
    Maximum installs per OSE 1 False

    The maximum number of installs allowed within one of the server's OSEs.

    Licenses required = Licensable installs per OSE

    		 Server (Per Instance) Microsoft
    Maximum installs per right 1 False The maximum number of installs each right can license. Per Application Instance VMware
    Maximum installs per right True The maximum number of installs each right can license. Per OSI VMware
    Minimum NUPs 5 False If licensed by Named User Plus (NUP), then both Oracle Database Standard Edition and Oracle Database Standard Edition One require a minimum of five NUP licenses each. Named User Plus Oracle
    Minimum NUPs for WebLogic on-premise deployments 10 False The minimum number of users required to be licensed for programs accessing a processor. This attribute is used for reconciling entitlements with an Oracle NUP license metric for Oracle WebLogic Standard and WebLogic Enterprise deployed on-premise. For WebLogic Standard, the attribute counts occupied sockets and for WebLogic Enterprise, the attribute counts processor cores. Named User Plus Oracle
    Maximum number of sockets per server 2 False Oracle Database Standard Edition, Oracle Database Standard Edition One and Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 may only be licensed on servers that have a value less than the maximum number of sockets. Named User Plus Oracle
    Minimum users per processor 25 False The minimum number of users allowed to access a physical processor. This metric attribute is applicable for both on-premise and Oracle Authorized Cloud Environments such as Microsoft Azure and AWS. Named User Plus Oracle
    Minimum NUPs on cloud 10 False If licensed by NUP, Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 requires a minimum of 10 NUP licenses per 8 vCPUs on Oracle Authorized Cloud Environments such as Microsoft Azure and AWS. Named User Plus Oracle
    Maximum size of instance on cloud 8 False Oracle Database Standard Edition, Oracle Database Standard Edition One and Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 have maximum limits on the size of the instances to which they’re deployed on Oracle Authorized Cloud Environments such as Microsoft Azure and AWS. Oracle Database Enterprise Edition doesn’t have any maximum limits on the size of the instances to which it’s deployed to on Oracle Authorized Cloud Environments such as Microsoft Azure and AWS. Named User Plus Oracle
    Minimum NUPs for WebLogic cloud deployments 10 False The minimum number of users required to be licensed for programs accessing a vCPU. This attribute is used for reconciling entitlements with an Oracle NUP license metric for Oracle WebLogic Standard and WebLogic Enterprise on Oracle Authorized Cloud Environments such as AWS or Azure Cloud. For the Standard edition, a minimum of 10 NUP licenses are required per 8 vCPUs on either AWS or Azure Cloud. For the Enterprise edition, if hyper-threading is enabled then 10 NUP licenses are required per 2 vCPUs, and if hyper-threading is not enabled then 10 NUP licenses are required per vCPU. Named User Plus Oracle
    Minimum NUPs per server 10 False If licensed by NUP, Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 requires a minimum of 10 NUP licenses per server. Named User Plus Oracle
    Maximum cores per processor True

    One license is required per CPU up to the physical core per CPU maximum. If a CPU has more physical cores than the maximum, additional CPU licenses are required.

    Licenses required = Processors * (Cores/Maximum cores per processor)

    		 Per Processor IBM
    Maximum cores per processor True

    One license is required per CPU up to the physical core per CPU maximum. If a CPU has more physical cores than the maximum, additional CPU licenses are required.

    Licenses required = Processors * (Cores/Maximum cores per processor)

    		 Per Processor Citrix
    Maximum cores per processor 32 False

    Effective April 2, 2020, VMware requires one license for up to 32 physical cores. If a CPU has more than 32 cores, additional CPU licenses are required.

    Licenses required = Processors * (Cores/Maximum cores per processor)

    		 Per Processor VMware
    Maximum cores per processor True

    One license is required per CPU up to the physical core per CPU maximum. If a CPU has more physical cores than the maximum, additional CPU licenses are required.

    Licenses required = Processors * (Cores/Maximum cores per processor)
