How does Named User licensing work?
raindogFeb 25 2010 — edited Feb 25 2010I have a couple questions about Named User (I guess Oracle calls it "Named User Plus" now) licensing:
Multiple Databases on the Same Host_
Let's say I have a database server running Enterprise Edition.
On it, I had the databases PROD1, PROD2, and PROD3.
I have 100 users for each database.
So do I need then to buy 300 NUP licenses? In other words, does the NUP license follow the database? Or do I need 100?
NUP Licensing in a RAC Environment_
Let's say I have two servers, NODE1 and NODE2. There is one database shared via RAC, with one instance on each server. I have 100 users for that database.
So, do I need 100 NUP licenses? Or 200 because there are two instances (NODE1 and NODE2)?
Thanks!
