Ellison sees new software pricing model Posted September 10, 5:07 a.m. Pacific Time SAN FRANCISCO -- The model of pricing enterprise software on a per-processor basis should be replaced with a flat annual fee that allows businesses to use as much software as they want, Oracle Corp.'s chairman and chief executive officer Larry Ellison said Tuesday. "It becomes very hard to count processors and to count users," Ellison said, responding to a question on the future of software pricing at the OracleWorld show. "Where I think we'll go is towards enterprise licensing. ... You pay an annual recurring fee and use as much software as you want, and I think that's a much more sensible model to use."
