Re: Oracle Licenses -please advise!

Are you trying to get a single seat license? If this is the case, have you looked at Personal Oracle? There may be something called PO Lite as well, I haven't checked in awhile. But I am using Personal Oracle.

Also, if you have a smaller system, make sure you discuss the Workgroup Server version, not the Enterprise version. We are running the Workgroup Server version, with a 40 seat license, and it was pretty reasonable (about 3 years ago). The Workgroup Server has some limitations, but it does everything we need.
