Hi,
Can someone explain how the named-user licensing
works? Also, has concurrent usage licensing gone away?
We have a need for an additional database to use for
mapping/geo-coding purposes. The primary application
will periodically perform a query against this new
database to "look up" some mapping info. Essentially,
the application will always maintain a handful of
sessions to the mapping database. It may perform the
lookup as often as 10 times an hour. The new database
will essentially be read-only.
What is the definition of a "user" as it pertains to
the licensing? The docs say NOT to allow the sharing
of usernames for multiple concurrent users. Although
the application may be hosting several users, no more
than a handful would ever need to get data from the
mapping database thus the idea of going cheap by
buying say 5-10 named user licenses.
It seems that for a few $K that I could accomplish
what I want with the database using named-user
licensing rather than dropping $14K+ for a single-CPU
license. We may also want to go with a dual-cpu box
which would mean another $14k!
Am I treading a thin line here? I hope this makes
sense.
As always, your feedback is appreciated!
