In an Oracle Data Guard configuration:

  • Oracle Active Data Guard must be licensed on any standby databases with any of the above features in use, as well as the primary database. If there are additional standby databases in the Oracle Data Guard configuration that are not using any of the Oracle Active Data Guard features, those standby databases do not require an Oracle Active Data Guard license.

Note: For customers who back up standby databases to Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance (ZDLRA) and wish to use the Fast Incremental Backup on Physical Standby or Real-Time Cascade feature, an Oracle Active Data Guard license is not required. Oracle Active Data Guard must still be licensed on standby databases, if any other of the above features are in use.

  • The container root (CDB$ROOT) of the standby database may be opened read-only without requiring an Oracle Active Data Guard license. An Oracle Active Data Guard license is only required if any of the pluggable databases in the standby is opened for read.
