Gene, Perhaps I'm not looking at it right. I can find current pricing on that page but not how to convert existing UPU licenses.
For example, lets say someone had a 2x300mhz Sun Sparc and last year licensed the appropriate 2x300x1.5=900 UPU's. Now they are pricing out what it would take to upgrade the processor to 4x400mhz cpu's. Under the UPU scheme you'd just say the new one is 4x400x1.5=2400 UPU's so you would need to purchase licenses for an additional 2400-900=1500 UPU's. Under the new scheme what does one do? Just purchase two new processor licenses? The phrase "formula to convert" in the press release hints otherwise. I suspect that some X UPU's = 1 processor license.... -rje G> try this site: G> https://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCZzpHome.jsp?site=OracleStoreUS&respid=22372 >>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/12/01 12:50PM >>> bry> Hello everyone.
