There are only 2 license types: named user and CPU.

There isn't any 'web' licensing.

Oracle will require you to purchase the CPU license for systems that:

are on the internet
on the intranet, unless all employees are covered under a site license
feed other database systems
subject to interpretation of your local sales critter, and highly dependant on the size of their boat payment.

Our Oracle rep fully understood that our DB is accessed via our intranet, a
large third party network, and the internet. We were only required to purchase CPU based licensing. There was no additional "Web" licensing fee.
After reading this, I am concerned they will be back to discuss more fees.

Adary - Wow that is not good! Has anyone else encountered this situation? Does the licensing fee have a name? Any indication if it differs between US
and non-US licensing?

Hello Dennis

We operate here on a site license that cover our internal users and servers.
About a month ago we talked with oracle about a database that will be connected to
our internet site.
They come back and said that we need a separate license for this and our regular site
license cover only INTERNAL use.
You need a separate license if you use the DB VIA internet. I do not know if it is named or CPU or whatever.
