Leo, The named user license is concurrent per session/connections to the database. Although you have 1 userid defined you will not be allowed to have more than 5 users connect to the instance simultaneously.
Regards $uhen While we are on the topic of oracle licensing, can someone help to clear up some doubts on named user licensing that I have? We have an existing 5-named user license for a small oracle 8i (8.1.5) database we have, but right now, it seems to be restricting the number of user sessions to 5 sessions even though the sessions are all using the same userid. Is this how the named user license is supposed to work? I was under the impression that the named user license was for restricting the number of users which you can create for a database and not the number of sessions. Or am I missing out on some settings/parameters to be defined?
