Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle "unlimited concurrent" license
Depending on the type of data/application ; one can buy licensing based on the CPU, nbr of CPU's within the nodes. For example; what if you have a n-tier application where the data maintained within the Oracle RDBMS is exposed to an un-countable population? The example of licensing that I have seen in that case has been "license the old fashion way-class of box, cpu, nbr of CPU's".
There are all types of different licensing arrangements that can occur. It really depends on the creativity of the sales and supply chain folks within each company. But I agree with Dennis - get the contract out and have an individual familiar with the contract read the fine print with you...

Concurrent licenses were offered years ago. I have not heard of an
unlimited concurrent, but it may well be that Oracle Sales sold them one.
The key would be finding the sales agreement they and Oracle signed and
seeing what it says.

My management is claiming that we have an "unlimited concurrent users" license on one of our AIX machines and that we do not need to upgrade the license when we increase the number of processors. The Oracle web site section on licensing lists only two types of licenses for Enterprise Edition, Named users and Processor Based.
Has anyone heard of this other type?
Thanks,
Peter Schauss
