Can you have Oracle Multitenant in Oracle Standard Edition 12.1.0.2 SE2?

No, you can’t as Oracle Multitenant is a licensable option for Enterprise Edition (EE) databases only.

But wait a second …

You can do Oracle Single Tenant with SE2 of course meaning you can have one active pluggable database within one container database at a time. That is possible and does not require any additional licenses.

See the DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) screen when you’ll try to create a container database:

DBCA - Single Tenant

You’ll find more information about the differences in handling and such between Oracle non-CDB, Oracle Single Tenant and Oracle Multitenant databases in this presentation:
