RE: Why is Oracle unaffordable?

Can you explain what you mean with nodes? Are these real end users or ar these 
workstations / devices that are used by multiple end users?

In the first case you would need 10 nup licenses (btw the price below was 
including 1 year support). In the second case you need to license the real end 
user (even if only 1 of them can work at a node at a time), in which case it 
can be better to license the cpu of the server (then you don't need to license 
the clients).

enterprise or SMB depends on which features you need.

Freek,


Just wanted to know whether Standard Edition One is an enterprise or SMB 
software. Secondly, I want a license for 1 Windows server and 10 nodes. How 
would the below mentioned product fit into it?
