This chapter describes the separately licensed Oracle Application Server options, management packs, and other products you can purchase to enhance the capabilities of Oracle Application Server in specific application environments. This chapter contains the following sections:

You may not use the options, packs, or products described below without separately purchased licenses. The fact that these options, packs, or products may be included in product CDs or downloads or described in documentation that you receive does not authorize you to use them without purchasing the appropriate licenses.
