At installation time, Oracle Corporation does not require license keys and
Oracle shops must be aware of those features that some in Standard Edition (SE),
Enterprise Edition (EE), and all of the extra cost packs.
(This, from Tony Jambu) The DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS view
will display information about database feature usage statistics. 10g will keep
track of any of its features that are being used. As an example, if you SELECT
from any of the Oracle Diagnostic Pack and Tuning Pack views like
V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY, the database will record your usage of it in this DBA
view.
Some of the information tracked are
o Name of the feature
o Number of times the system has detected usage for the feature
o First sample time the system detected usage of the feature
o Last sample time the system detected usage of the feature
These are just some of the features it tracks
