question about oracle prm-dul license

Question:

 

I have downloaded the free version of your PRM-DUL tool and have gotten it working on an Oracle server that has some issues we hope to resolve.
 
We have been able to use the PRM-DUL tool to successfully access the database datafiles and access the system catalog and list of tables.
 
It appears that we are able to access data in the needed tables but we aren't able to determine how many total records per table are available - does the tool have a way to do this?
 
Is there a way to use a Where clause to retrieve only a portion of a table - like recent days - rather than trying to retrieve everything, especially if media errors impede access?
 
If the PRM-DUL tool can retrieve the data we need we will get a license for the tool.
 
We are trying to determine which PRM-DUL license we should get, how much it will cost, and how we make that payment and get the license key.
 
The PRM License Registration is provided on page 17 of the included manual and shows the following:
PRM License Registration
 
ParnassusData Recovery Manager (PRM) needs license for full use. ParnassusData provide the community version of PRM for user testing and demo. (Community version has no limits on ASM clone, and we will add more free features in it.)
 
It needs license for full use of PRM. Now, we provide two kinds of license for clients: Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition, and specifications are as follows.
 
 
Clients can purchase PRM license from official website: www.parnassusdata.com, and it needs Database name. After your purchasing, you will receive an email which includes a DBNAME and License Key.
 
Once you obtain the License Key, please register in the software as below,
 
1. In the Menu, Help => Register
 
2. Input DB NAME and you License Key, then click Register button
 
After registration, you don’t need to input license key again on your next boot. 
 
Looking at the website, I see no options to purchase the Standard license for $299, and the $999 Enterprise license is not available and is instead listed as $1500/per database.
 
Can you provide some pricing guidance 
 
  - is the $299 Standard license available?
 
  - is the price of the Enterprise license $999 or $1500?
 
 
 
Answer:

No, can not. But if you can ensure only some metadata is corrupted then of course ,the PRM-DUL can unload the whole table.
 
Is there a way to use a Where clause to retrieve only a portion of a table - like recent days - rather than trying to retrieve everything, especially if media errors impede access?


No,we can not. What prm do is like a FULL table scan or Full partition scan.
 
 
 - is the price of the Enterprise license $999 or $1500?
 
The current price is 1500 USD per license .
