Oracle WebLogic Server is licensed on premises under the Oracle License Definitions and Rules (effective 15 June 2024) by Processor or Named User Plus.[1] The Oracle Technology Global Price List dated 3 August 2026 lists it first under Oracle Fusion Middleware as three editions—Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, and WebLogic Suite—with separately priced Oracle Coherence editions and SOA Suite SKUs on the same list.[2] That price list is marked educational only. WebLogic Server Standard Edition does not include WebLogic Server Clustering.[1]
Editions
The Fusion Middleware Licensing Information User Manual (E56762-96, July 2026) states that Oracle WebLogic Server is available in three editions with different functional capabilities.[3] The Technology Global Price List (3 August 2026, USA dollars, educational) prices those editions as follows.[2]
| Edition | Named User Plus | NUP Software Update License & Support | Processor | Processor Software Update License & Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WebLogic Server Standard Edition | $200 | $44 | $10,000 | $2,200 |
| WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition | $500 | $110 | $25,000 | $5,500 |
| WebLogic Suite | $900 | $198 | $45,000 | $9,900 |
Standard Edition. License Definitions: WebLogic Server Standard Edition does not include WebLogic Server Clustering.[1] The LIUM: a Standard Edition license provides unlimited access to most high availability features except Cluster Support; it places no restriction on the number of Managed Server instances in a WebLogic domain, and permits use of the Apache HTTP Server Plug-In to load-balance among non-clustered Managed Server instances.[3] Included functionality named in the LIUM edition table: core WebLogic application server, Administration Console, Configuration Wizard, Upgrade Framework, Oracle TopLink and Application Development Framework, Oracle JDeveloper, Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, Oracle Security Developer Tools, Java SE, Oracle Web Tier, Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control (standalone single-domain console, not Cloud Control), Oracle WebLogic Software Kit for Oracle Database Appliance, and MicroTX Free.[3]
Enterprise Edition. Includes all Standard Edition functionality plus clustering support, Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder, and Oracle Java SE Advanced (restricted for Oracle WebLogic Server; Java SE is included for client applications that access these server components). Cluster Support named in the LIUM: application failover, cluster management and administration, automatic and manual migration of a clustered server instance (Server Migration), Service Migration for singleton services such as JMS and JTA transaction recovery, and load balancing.[3]
WebLogic Suite. Includes all Enterprise Edition functionality plus Oracle Coherence Enterprise Edition; Oracle Forms, Reports, and Portal; Oracle Enterprise Manager Pack for Oracle Coherence; Oracle Verrazzano Enterprise Container Platform; Oracle Java SE Suite (restricted for WebLogic Server, Oracle Containers for J2EE and Coherence); and Oracle WebLogic Server Zero Downtime Patching. The LIUM also states that WebLogic Suite includes Oracle Internet Application Server Enterprise Edition (and names the components of that program).[3]
Oracle WebLogic Server does not provide installers that correspond one-to-one with each edition; depending on the edition licensed, more than one installer may be required.[3]
WebLogic Server Basic is a license-constrained version described in the LIUM, available in licenses for Oracle Internet Application Server and Oracle Forms and Reports Server. It is not a separately priced full-use edition on the Technology Global Price List rows above.[4]
Metrics
- Processor applies to WebLogic Server Standard Edition, WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition, and WebLogic Suite (and to the Coherence and SOA Suite SKUs on the same price list that are sold by Processor). Count processors where the Programs are installed and/or running.[1]
- Named User Plus applies to the same Programs. Count authorized individuals plus non-human devices that can access the Programs; measure at the multiplexing front end if multiplexing hardware or software is used.[1]
Do not apply Standard Edition 2 Processor to WebLogic. That catalog row is Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 only. Occupied-socket counting that the Processor definition attaches to Programs with Standard Edition or Standard Edition One in the product name is still the Processor metric, not the Database SE2 row. See Counting.
Do not apply Employee. Java SE Universal Subscription is a separate Program.
License Definitions do not name a WebLogic-only metric distinct from Processor or Named User Plus.
Counting
Named User Plus. An individual authorized to use the Programs on a single server or multiple servers, regardless of whether the individual is actively using them. A non-human operated device that can access the Programs counts as a Named User Plus in addition to all authorized individuals. If multiplexing hardware or software (for example a TP monitor or a web server product) is used, this number must be measured at the multiplexing front end. Automated batching of data from computer to computer is permitted. All actual users must be licensed, and published NUP minimums must be maintained for Programs in the user minimum table.[1]
NUP floors (user minimum table, License Definitions effective 15 June 2024). 10 Named Users Plus per Processor for:[1]
- WebLogic Server Standard Edition
- WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition
- WebLogic Suite
- Web Tier
- Coherence Standard Edition One
- Coherence Enterprise Edition
- Coherence Grid Edition
- SOA Suite for Non Oracle Middleware
WebLogic Suite Options, WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition and WebLogic Suite Options, SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware Options, Application Server Enterprise Management packs (including WebLogic Server Management Pack Enterprise Edition), and Management Pack for Oracle Coherence are footnoted with a double asterisk: if licensing by Named User Plus you must maintain, at a minimum, 10 Named Users Plus per Processor per associated Program.[1]
Processor (core factor). Required licenses = total cores of the processor times the core processor licensing factor from the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table; aggregate cores on all multicore chips first; round all fractions up to the next whole number.[1] The Core Factor Table (updated 28 January 2026) lists Intel Xeon processors named in that table and AMD EPYC 9005, 9004, 8004, 7003, 7002, 7001, 4005, 4004 Series at 0.5; catch-all All Other Multicore chips is 1.0.[5] This is the method for WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition and WebLogic Suite (product names that are not Standard Edition / Standard Edition One / Standard Edition 2).
Processor (occupied socket) — product-name rule. The same Processor definition: when licensing Oracle Programs with Standard Edition 2, Standard Edition One or Standard Edition in the product name (with the exception of WebCenter Enterprise Capture Standard Edition, Java SE Subscription, Java SE Universal Subscription, Java SE Advanced, and Java SE Suite), a processor is counted equivalent to an occupied socket; in the case of multi-chip modules, each chip in the multi-chip module is counted as one occupied socket.[1] WebLogic Server Standard Edition and Coherence Standard Edition One match that product-name pattern and are not in the exception list. That is still Processor, not the Database SE2 catalog row.
Options quantity. The LIUM: if licensing WebLogic Suite Options by Named User Plus or by Processor, the number of licenses to those options must match the number of licenses to the associated Oracle WebLogic Suite application server, except that NUP counts may not match where the minimum number of NUP licenses were purchased, and Processor counts may not match where programs were licensed at different times due to variance in core factors—in that Processor case the number of cores used to determine licensed processors of the options must match the number of cores used for WebLogic Suite.[6]
Virtualization
The policy defines which partitioning technologies Oracle deems Soft, Hard, or an Oracle Trusted Partition, and under what conditions Oracle permits them as a means to determine or limit the number of Oracle Processor licenses required for a given server.[7]
The policy names VMware as an example of soft partitioning, alongside Solaris 9 Resource Containers, AIX Workload Manager, HP Process Resource Manager, Affinity Management, and Oracle VM. Unless explicitly stated elsewhere in that document, soft partitioning (including features/functionality of any technologies listed as examples) is not permitted as a means to determine or limit the number of software licenses required for any given server or cluster of servers.[7]
Hard partitioning is a separate, named list in the same policy (capped configurations of specified technologies). Do not infer vCenter- or cluster-scope counting from VMware version; that is not stated in the 14 February 2022 policy.
Cloud
The policy applies to Amazon EC2 and RDS, Microsoft Azure Platform, and Google Cloud Platform (Authorized Cloud Environments). It applies to licensing Oracle programs in those environments. The document does not name WebLogic in the retrieved text; the counting rules are stated for Oracle programs and for Processor / Named User Plus generally.[8]
For Processor licensing in ACE, count the maximum vCPUs of an instance type: 2 vCPUs = 1 Oracle Processor license if multi-threading of processor cores is enabled; 1 vCPU = 1 Oracle Processor license if multi-threading is not enabled. The Oracle Processor Core Factor Table is not applicable when counting Processor licenses in Authorized Cloud Environments.[8]
When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One, Standard Edition 2, or Standard Edition in the product name, ACE states that pricing is based on instance size: instances with four or fewer vCPUs count as 1 socket, which is considered equivalent to an Oracle processor license; instances with more than four vCPUs: every four vCPUs used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of four) equate to one socket.[8] WebLogic Server Standard Edition and Coherence Standard Edition One match that product-name pattern. The ACE vCPU caps of 8 or 16 are stated for Oracle Database Standard Edition / Standard Edition One / Standard Edition 2, not for WebLogic.
Standard Named User Plus licensing applies, including counting the minimums where applicable.[8]
Programs
Licenses acquired under unlimited license agreements (ULAs) may be used in Authorized Cloud Environments, but customers may not include those licenses in the certification at the end of the ULA term.[8]
PULA (and ULA contract-term math: certification formulas, remaining-term true-up, or conversion quantities) is not defined in the PDFs retrieved for this page — treat as contract-specific.
Coherence and SOA Suite
These SKUs appear on the same Fusion Middleware section of the Technology Global Price List (3 August 2026, educational). This page does not catalogue every Fusion Middleware SKU.[2]
| Program (price list name) | Named User Plus | NUP support | Processor | Processor support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coherence Standard Edition One | $16 | $3.52 | $800 | $176 |
| Coherence Enterprise Edition | $230 | $50.60 | $11,500 | $2,530 |
| Coherence Grid Edition | $500 | $110 | $25,000 | $5,500 |
| SOA Suite for Non Oracle Middleware | $1,500 | $330 | $75,000 | $16,500 |
| SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware (WebLogic Suite Options) | $1,200 | $264 | $57,500 | $12,650 |
| WebLogic Coherence Grid Edition Option | $200 | $44 | $10,000 | $2,200 |
Coherence. WebLogic Suite includes Oracle Coherence Enterprise Edition (LIUM edition table).[3] Coherence Standard Edition One, Enterprise Edition, and Grid Edition are also sold as standalone Programs on the price list. NUP floor: 10 Named Users Plus per Processor for each of those three Coherence editions.[1]
SOA Suite. The LIUM: Oracle SOA Suite is licensed as an option to Oracle WebLogic Suite; a license to Oracle WebLogic Suite is a prerequisite to license and use Oracle SOA Suite; a license to Oracle database is a prerequisite to license and use Oracle SOA Suite.[6] SOA Suite for Non Oracle Middleware is a separately listed Program on the Technology price list and in the NUP minimum table (10 NUP per Processor).[1]
Other WebLogic Suite Options named in License Definitions (Column A, associated Program WebLogic Suite): BPEL Process Manager Option, Service Bus, Unified Business Process Management Suite, WebLogic Coherence Grid Edition Option. WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition and WebLogic Suite Options named there: WebLogic Server Multitenant, WebLogic Server Continuous Availability (associated application server Program being managed).[1]
Out of scope
- Oracle Database — Oracle Database licensing. Database NUP floors (25 per Processor for Enterprise Edition; 10 NUP per server for SE2) and Database SE2 socket/thread caps are not WebLogic rules. SOA Suite’s database prerequisite is a license requirement, not Database edition math on this page.
- Java SE Universal Subscription — Oracle Java SE licensing uses Employee. The LIUM’s inclusion of Java SE / Java SE Advanced / Java SE Suite inside WebLogic editions is not that subscription SKU.
- Oracle VM VirtualBox is a separate Program in License Definitions (Socket / Named Workstation User). It is not WebLogic licensing.
- Limited-use for Oracle Applications Programs. License Definitions restrict Programs that contain for Oracle Applications in the Program name, including Oracle WebLogic Suite for Oracle Applications, Oracle SOA Suite for Oracle Applications, and Oracle Coherence Enterprise Edition for Oracle Applications. Those are not the full-use Technology price-list editions above.[1]
- Other Fusion Middleware families on the same price list (WebCenter, Identity and Access Management, Business Intelligence, Tuxedo, GoldenGate, Data Integrator, adapters) are not catalogued here.
