We did that first thing and got NO WHERE. Not even a new audit report or
anything. It was like spitting into the wind.

*Subject:* One final Oracle LMS Audit Question (Proc metric and Named
User servers)
We have Processor and Named-User licenses in our environment.
We have 15 physical boxes.
Unfortunately we had 2 Oracle databases get stood up on our VMWare farm -
(before I got here!) so we'll put those aside for the time being.
What LMS did in the report they sent us was to arbitrarily assign the
Processor licenses to a box where we use Named-User licenses and they
applied the Named-User licenses to the proc boxes we have.
Basically we view SERVER_A and SERVER_B (RAC) as Processor Based Licensed,
and SERVER_C (32 Procs) as our Named-User server (and we have the minimums
required).
HOWEVER, in the LMS report, they used SERVER_C as our Proc Based Server
and show it as being short, and used SERVER_A + SERVER_B (RAC) as our
Named-User Servers.
Has anyone experienced that behavior from LMS before? How did you "fight"
it?
