Always double check, but I thought at one point these named users where actually supposed to be 'named', as in a list somewhere. :) Don't quote me.

Is the Named User license cost also per processor? For example, if the named user license cost is $100 and I have 1 user on a 4 CPU box. Do I have to pay $100 for the 1 user or $400 for the 1 user for each of the 4 processors? Thanks, Tom Terrian -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
