Oracle distinguishes between three levels of modifications to its Oracle E-Business Suite Applications,
which have increasing licensing requirements for the underlying database and other technologies.
These modification levels are:
No Modifications: The customer is deploying the application without modifications. In this case, the
customer receives a restricted-use license for the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, Oracle Internet
Application Server Enterprise Edition, which includes WebLogic Server Basic, and a limited set of
other products. This restricted-use license may only be used to run with the licensed application(s); it
cannot be used for any other purposes.
Modifications implemented as Java programs and/or modifications to Forms, Reports and/or
Workbooks: These modifications include any creation or modification of reports, forms, and/or
workbooks. In addition, modifications implemented as Java programs, which include Java that
produces html interface or Java business logic fall under this category. In these two scenarios, the
customer receives a restricted-use license for the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and a limited
set of other products. This restricted-use license may only be used to run with the licensed
application(s); it cannot be used for any other purposes. Additionally, the customer is required to
purchase licenses for a limited set of products, including Oracle Internet Application Server Enterprise
Edition for the total number of end users1 or processors for which the modifications are deployed.
Modifications to the database: Examples of these modifications include adding and/or modifying the
tables, columns, stored procedures and triggers, which are the part of Oracle E-Business Suite
application schema. In this situation, the customer is required to purchase licenses for the Oracle
Database Enterprise Edition, as well as Oracle Internet Application Server Enterprise Edition for the
total number of end users1 or processors for which the modifications are deployed. The customer
receives a restricted-use license of a limited set of products. Additionally, a limited set of other
products is required to be licensed as defined in the following table
