Atul,

 

I know that Oracle does licensing based on CPU, but my question was how
can we support 500 users with just 25 users licenses. One of our client
has similar setup and they want whether anything can be done through
application while logon process, so that they can track what 500 users
are doing using 25 users licenses.

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Regards,

Kishore

        Guys,

         

        How normally licensing is handled in the industry as Oracle
charges based on the number of users. Let's say a company has 500 users,
taking 500 users licensing 

        is very expensive and management may not support it. Say the
company has opted for 25 users. 

         

        One way is to attach many responsibilities to the same user or
create few users and share it. But, sharing of the user will not allow
us to track who has done a wrong transaction.

        I have gone through "User Management" where many
responsibilities are assigned to the role and then the role is assigned
to the user. 

         

        Let me know if anybody has better solution.

         

        Regards,

        Kishore
