Well that is just wrong. You can pay a per processor license for
Oracle SE One. Its right there on store.oracle.com. What do you get
for a processor license. The public, passed through Oracle legal
statement is
"Processor: shall be defined as all processors where the Oracle
programs are installed and/or running. Programs licensed on a
Processor basis may be accessed by your internal users (including
agents and contractors) and by your third party users"
SE One *is* limited to 2 processors, but any number of folks can
access it internal, or third party. The effective limit is how many
concurrent sessions it takes to kill a 2 processor box (somewhere
between 4 and 500 usually).
Now I know about Oracle sales folk on site. they told us onsite, and
indeed in email, that EM10g did not take any functionality that we
already had away from us, or make us pay more for it. Now I've
presented the evidence there has been a deafening silence.
