Who is telling you that? The Oracle sales person? That sounds very wrong to me. It doesn't make any sense (except to a commission-driven sales rep) to license software on other machines than where it's running. As Harley replied, you should be contracting for as many licenses as the LPAR(s) running Oracle have access to. Perhaps Damian can weigh in here with a more informed opinion.
