Janine, some time ago when I needed something like that (for personal access to metalink to do searches and downloads) , I opted for Oracle Collaboration Suite , Oracle sales was happy to sell one-seat licence only, it goes out for US$ 100... Today OCS is defunct, so you could try their sucessor, beehive, itīs a US$ 120 by seat licence and gives to you an CSI, iirc. Failing that, Oracle Personal Edition could be an option, and it gives to you the bonus of being capacle to open database-related SRs, but the total price for PE + minum licencing + support will be around US$$00 , I think.

  Regards,
