description: >-
  Oracle Essbase is delivered through the Oracle Cloud Marketplace as a
  Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) image deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
  (OCI) compute. There is no separate per-API or per-user public price for
  Essbase itself. Customers pay for the underlying OCI compute, block storage,
  and networking consumed by the Essbase instance, and supply an existing
  Oracle Analytics or Essbase license. On-premises deployments are licensed
  per processor or named-user-plus through the Oracle Technology global price
  list. Pricing is not published in machine-readable form; engage Oracle Sales
  for the applicable rate sheet.

notes: >-
  Oracle blocks programmatic fetches of www.oracle.com pricing pages (HTTP 403).
  Plan structure preserved as a single BYOL/Marketplace tier plus an Enterprise
  custom-licensing tier; replace with verified Oracle Technology Global Price
  List values when available.

      Bring-Your-Own-License Essbase image on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
      Charges accrue against the underlying OCI compute, storage, and
      networking; the Essbase software itself requires a separately purchased
      Oracle license.
