Sun Ray software cannot be used for free. The eDelivery download is a trial. 
You must license your Software with either the "Named User" or "Sun Ray Device" 
license. One method licenses devices connecting or specific users. We do not 
have a concurrent licensing model.

Oracle also stresses the importance of purchasing support. There are patches 
that are released to My Oracle Support in between major releases. Also Oracle 
has a policy that if you need support after the license purchase time, you need 
to pay a "true-up" fee.

I definitely urge everyone on this list to read the Oracle Licensing rules for 
exact details so that you know if you are in compliance or not.

The Sun Ray "RTU" does not follow the device. The license you purchase is for 
Sun Ray Software to allow clients to connect. Whether it's OVDC or a physical 
Sun Ray connecting, your Sun Ray software needs to be licensed for those 
connections.
