RE: License high water mark

Dave,
Error 12540 can be raised due to a number of issues. If you have access to Metalink you will get quite a few documents describing it. Are there any other databases on the server. If so, and if it is possible to shutdown any on those, please do that, and then try to start your database. If it starts, then the problem is related to kernel resources on the server. And those documents from Metalink would of help.
License High Water mark shows the max number of concurrent connections the database had before it was shutdown. It is also reported by the v$license view.
HTH, Regards,
