A Named User Plus licence should be multi-server -- ie a User once counted in one
database should not be counted again.
Having said that, DBA_USERS and Licence High Water Mark are both wrong representations
of "User Count"..

See www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing

See the Price List for the definition of "Named User Plus" and the Software Investment Guide
for examples of how to determine Licence Quantities.
