Hello Anil,

I was informed by Sun that the licensing model of Oracle does not work well with subscriptions. In order to simplify the sales/administration proces, Sun/Oracle decided to go back to the old licensing model. I was quite happy with the subscription model since it fits well with the current SAAS/Cloud providers who also charge per workstation per year or even per month. With the old licensing model SAAS/Cloud providers (who want to add the Sun Ray service) will have to pay/invest in Sun Ray licenses upfront.
This will be harder for  smaller startup SAAS and Cloud providers.
But maybe Oracle is more focused on larger companies for now.
Hopefully they will relaunch a subscription model again in the future for the smaller SAAS companies.

Kind regards,

Ivar
