The way I understand the Oracle licensing, you either have to get a per processor license or licence all of your *named* users, not concurrent users. so if you have 200 users that connect to the database thru this app, even if only 90 are connected at one time, you need 200 named user licenses.

You should be able to find out what you need at www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/
