Clients are not really licensed, the database is - so, if the database is licensed thru the processor method, no additional
licenses are need no matter how, or how many, users connect to it.
If, however, it is licensed on a Named-User basis, then you would need to use a pre-authorized username to connect, but still
no license issues on your part, just the DBAs...
