Q

Will I need an additional license(s) if I use Multi-AZ deployments for my Oracle DB Instances under the “BYOL” licensing model?

Options and Features

A

Yes, we expect that you will need to use twice as many licenses for Multi-AZ deployments as you would for a corresponding Single-AZ deployment to account for the stand by DB Instance. However, you should review your Oracle Software Licensing Agreement and comply with Oracle’s licensing policies.
