Re: Oracle Licensing - Concurrent users
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? Regards, Leo -Original Message- Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2002 12:00:30 -0800 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] I suggest you talk to your Oracle rep before getting started. 'Concurrent' licensing is no longer a valid licensing model for Oracle. They sell by named user or per CPU. Their criteria for making you use the CPU licensing is rather broad. Just went through a licensing audit here. Lots o fun, let me tell you. While on the subject, does anyone have a good app/spreadsheet or template of some kind for tracking Oracle license use? It needs to track EE and Std versions, named and CPU licenses, servers, databases on the servers, users on the databases. I've cobbled my own stuff together from bits of string and baling wire, but I'm getting tired of messing with modifying SQL everytime I want a different view of the data, or to see if I can squeeze another app in without licensing more users.
