Weren’t the old licenses concurrent user-based?  Are those non-transferable?

Hello,

 

I am trying to find, and it seems I can't, what is the newer version of

Solaris/SRS that I can install on a e250 server with about 16 SunRay 1.

Can anyone tell me where should I find this information?

 

Thanks,

Johny

I believe the best supported version would be the most recent Solaris 10,
if e250 can cope with that, or try the latest updates to Solaris 8/9 -
but I guess they are unsupported now, so you're on your own (with the
help of the community ;).

Probably the latest SRSS (5.2) would be okay, downloadable from Oracle
e-Delivery site. Actually in the Admin Guide or Release notes (or on
the Wiki page) you can find the list of officially supported OSes...

I do not know how legal this installation would be - if you just take
and install the latest and greatest Solaris and SRSS without paying
Oracle for software nor support.

Actually I'd love to hear on that from the list's experts: can the
Sun/Oracle software be used for free in production (without asking
for support) according to currently active rules?

 

Sun Ray software cannot be used for free. The eDelivery download is a trial. 
You must license your Software with either the "Named User" or "Sun Ray Device" 
license. One method licenses devices connecting or specific users. We do not 
have a concurrent licensing model.

 

Oracle also stresses the importance of purchasing support. There are patches 
that are released to My Oracle Support in between major releases. Also Oracle 
has a policy that if you need support after the license purchase time, you need 
to pay a "true-up" fee.

 

I definitely urge everyone on this list to read the Oracle Licensing rules for 
exact details so that you know if you are in compliance or not.

 


I believe somebody sometime has already paid for RTU when the DTUs
were originally purchased. What if that was a different end-user
(i.e. for DTUs found from Amazon/eBay)? Must RTU be purchased again?

 

The Sun Ray "RTU" does not follow the device. The license you purchase is for 
Sun Ray Software to allow clients to connect. Whether it's OVDC or a physical 
Sun Ray connecting, your Sun Ray software needs to be licensed for those 
connections.

Regarding the server, how much RAM/CPU is there? 16 terminal users
may or may not be too much for it, unless they are doing something
trivial like "uttsc" sessions to connect to Windows servers, or
running as kiosks with informative billboards...
