Correction ....

You have 10 users, they have names, so you buy *a minimum* of 10 Named User Plus licenses - one per user's name. (And you do NOT buy any extra for the CPU.) Now, check the minimum requirements (link on the price page at http://oraclestore.oracle.com). It should say something like "you need to purchase at least X Named User Plus licenses for each CPU on which the Oracle database will be installed." It will also say something like "Standard Edition can only be loaded on servers capable of a maximum of 4 CPUs". Received on Thu May 22 2003 - 19:03:09 CDT
