License Manager is a utility that registers additional products, country-specific functionalities, and languages for your Oracle E-Business Suite system. Once you have contacted your Oracle sales representative, or set up your new license agreements online through the Oracle Store, you are ready to register your new products, country-specific functionalities or languages using License Manager. License Manager does not set up license agreements or determine pricing, but the registration procedure makes new components accessible to all Oracle E-Business Suite utilities.
License Manager also provides a set of reports that allows you to determine the products, country-specific functionalities and languages that are registered on your Oracle E-Business Suite system.
The main License Manager page contains three main licensing links and five report links. The licensing pages are:
Products
Country-specific Functionalities
Languages
The five report links that provide licensing details about your Oracle E-Business Suite system are:
Licensed Products
Shared Products
Country-specific Functionalities
Languages
