EDB

EDB (EnterpriseDB) provides the EDB Postgres AI platform, enterprise PostgreSQL distributions, tools and support. Its software is sold as subscriptions counted mainly per core or vCPU, with instance-based subscriptions for some support services.

Licensing at a Glance

  • Subscription
  • Per core

  1. On physical servers the number of cores is the unit of measure for EDB subscriptions; for virtual servers with unknown hardware and in the cloud, the number of vCPUs is the number of subscriptions required.[1]

  2. For containers and Cloud Native Postgres, the CPU "limits" value of the Postgres pod multiplied by the number of instances gives the subscriptions required.[2]

  3. uniCore subscriptions are required for primary and replica/standby nodes running Postgres, but not for cold standby nodes or nodes that only run tools such as Postgres Enterprise Manager, EFM or Barman.[3]

  4. Community 360, Remote DBA and Cloud DBA use instance-based subscriptions, with each replica or standby counted as a separate instance.[4]

  5. The EDB EULA allows EDB, no more than once per calendar year, to request self-reported usage or to audit usage on thirty days' advance notice.[5]

  6. Under the EDB EULA the customer may not assign the agreement without EDB's consent, except to an affiliate or a successor in a reorganization, merger or sale of substantially all assets.[6]
