JR,
This is the problem with embedded licensing. It is not sure for a startup to
tell how much volume we expect to sell. It is difficult until and unless the
product hits the market. I saw the prices of Oracle TimeTen, Berkley and Lite
products. These are not in my budget and they are charging upfront.

Talk to Oracle about embedded software licenses, they have a
team that only sells “App Specific or Embedded Licenses” to attach to your
application. I have seen these type of licenses sell for 5% of list price.
This also depends on the volume you anticipate to sell.

If you are a software developer looking to embed an RDBMS
into your product you'll likely want to talk to them about an "Application
Specific Full Use" license. It'll allow you to sell your app with an
oracle backend. If the db won't be larger than 4gb and will run on a single cpu
then Oracle Express will likely do.

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?

minimum number of NUP licenses). I don't think this is expensive for enterprise
software.
