This is my understanding of the situation for the US only; your mileage may
vary and I could be very much out of date. But I don't think things have
changed a lot...

The perpetual licenses are supposed to be a one-time payment for the
software, after which you have rights to the software
Thanks for the explanation of the term licenses, Tim. I have to admit, I
didn't know that there was such a thing called term license for Oracle. I
had a blurb of an idea about software leases, but always thought the support
costs were based on lease, not on perpetual license.

We are concerned on licensing especially as we are setting up a
Disaster Recovery Site. During our Investigation it seems that
TERM licensing can come out cheaper. Anyone have any idea on
this or any disadvantages of leasing the software as opposed to
owning it,
thanks
