My understanding, obtained from arguing with my new licensing rep every 6 months, is that if 1 user has 3 connections, 1 concurrent license will cover.

Highwater would count the above 3 connection user as 3 towards its highwater mark, so the highwater is not a perfect 1-1 with the number of concurrent users, it is the number of connections.

Hi!

really sorry if I am 'dragging u back'!

But can someone help me with Oracle's licensing policy (policies!) for servers

and particularly the
terms

"CONCURRENT USERS"
Does 'concurrent users' mean that if 1 user has 3 concurrent sessions , is he counted once or thrice?

"LICENSE_HIGH_WATER_MARK"
what does this term 'actually' mean in the alert.log

Does it mean concurrent users as defined above? or????

Thanks a lot
