Jeff,

Have you considered a per cpu license instead on a named user license? Seems it would cost a lot less.

We are in the process of negotiating our contract with Oracle. I've been asked to inquire as to how much other sites are paying for a license for 1000 concurrent users. We are looking in the ballpark of $400-$500k according to the Oracle negotiators.

I would appreciate if you either tell me how much you are paying for such a license, or simply inform me as to whether we are below, par, or higher then what you pay now. We'd just like to determine whether we are getting screwed or at least comparable to other sites.

Thanks.
