Yes you are getting screwed, but for that matter we all are. Oracle licensing always reminds me of an acronym I learned in the military...BOHICA...You can get the definition at either of the following links.

One thing you may want to look at is term licensing. A 2 year term (license) is 35% of a normal license, and a 4 year is 65%.
Another option is to run only SE on a max 4 cpu box and divide your db's onto multiple 4 cpu boxes. The savings are bigtime as long as you don't need any of the EE features.
If you need more info call me and I can explain the details.

Subject: Licensing cost for 1000 concurrent users?
We are in the process of negotiating our contract with Oracle. I've been asked to inquire as to how much other sites are paying for a license for 1000 concurrent users. We are looking in the ballpark of $400-$500k according to the Oracle negotiators. I would appreciate if you either tell me how much you are paying for such a license, or simply inform me as to whether we are below, par, or higher then what you pay now. We'd just like to determine whether we are getting screwed or at least comparable to other sites. Thanks.
