As with any licensing advice, take this with a grain of salt (meaning, this is
what we were told by our Oracle rep, others may be told a completely different
story).
We were told we had to license end-users, which may or may not be a database
user account. This means if you have a web application that uses a connection
pool, you aren’t licensing the single web app account, you’re licensing the
1,000 people that connect to the application. So basically, you’ll need to
have some governance around the addition of end-users so you can make sure
you’re never exceeding your max user count. The one good thing is that you
only need license end-user X once for any of your Named User Plus environments
(which again, means you have the ability to track this somehow across your
environments).
But – as always – talk to your Oracle rep and get it in writing.
Thanks,
Scott

Subject: What is included when paying licences per user?
Hello please,
when you pay oracle database per user, do you pay for connected users (i
suppose a max or average v$session ),created users and or schema users.
Thank you in advance :)
