Licensing is complex, but ...
If I remember rightly, the fact that you have a 25 user lic on the DB
means that only 25 users can legitimatly access the DB ( oracle's lic
user is NOT concurrent ), so the most app server lics you would want
is 25!
If you have written an intranet/internet app that potentially allows
hundreds-> millions of users to access the system then you must
upgrade your DB lic to be CPU based. Depending on your required db
funcionality consider Std edition to keep the cost down.
