Well, if you're lucky enough to use the Enterprise Edition you'll be saving money. We use the Standard Edition, and at this time it looks like it's going to cost us quite a bit more, actually, for a per-processor license.

So, we're currently in delicate negotiations with our Oracle rep and various resellers to see what kind of deal we can get. Fortunately we can still buy licenses through the old "power unit" scheme through the end of July. Since we're opening up a new hosting data center in New Jersey next month we're gonna scarf up as many licenses as we can afford.

So, Larry, I got something you can smell right here. :>)

Steve,

I have heard nothing to suggest that Oracle is abandoning the standard vs.
enterprise edition packaging. What I have heard and read at Oracle.com is that
they are abandoning the Universal Power Unit in favor of Per Processor pricing.
Namely there is today two license models that they offer and support, named user and per processor.

Thanks Larry!! Knew you'd smell the roses/coffee sooner or later.
