How to Save Oracle Database license costs

First, understand how Oracle is now licensed.

Oracle has switched pricing the database from total number of sockets to total number of CORES or CPUs.

This switch has a hidden cost many do not see when upgrading hardware because the newer intel® processors have more cores on them. Therefore, updating system with just newer intel® chips can cause license cost of Oracle to skyrocket.
