Named user licence clarification

I interpret the Named User Plus licence as follows
a NUP allows one user to access oracle on one or more servers.
The user minimum for Standard Edition (and SE1) is 5.
Therefore, if I have a department of 4 people, accessing oracle systems on three servers, I still only need 5 NUP licences.
The user minimum for Enterprise Edition is 25 [em]per processor[em]
Therefore for the same department I need 75 licences (3 x 25, assuming single processor servers)
Is this correct?

There is no "query" or "formula" as such. The number of users can be determined or estimated only by questioning the user team / management. Oracle doesn't refer to the 'concurrent' users but users who are allowed to access the database.
An application might have a single database account being used but a large number of users accessing via the application that connects to the database account. With connection pooling or multi threading the number of processes might be lesser than the number of connected users. The number of connected users at any time would be lesser than the number of authorized users.
See the Software Investment Guide at http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/software-investment-guide/index.html (there is an explanation of the Named User Plus metric on page 13) and the Price List at http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list-070617.pdf (the formal definition is on page 10)

Why do I have to contact my reseller to have trial named-user licences (that neither I or my reseller requested) removed from my CC account?

After buying 50 device licenses for Dreamweaver, 50 named-user trial licences were added to my CC account (along with the 50 device licences). The trials expired after 1 month and now the team management interface reports payment issues and that that I must contact my reseller to remove the named-user licences. The reseller did not ask for these named-user licences to be added and neither did I. How do I get these named-user licences removed? Adobe support tell me that I have to raise an order with my reseller (for the licences that I don't want) and then cancel the order to have the named-user licences removed. That solution sounds stupid frankly so we won't be doing that.

I checked & found that since it is an indirect purchase, you will have to contact reseller to get the seats removed. Reseller needs to place zero value order & return the order which will remove the trial seats.

AS User Licence - Named or Concurrent?

Hi guys
Can someone please clear up a query that I have.
With AS, licence can be purchased on a user-basis.
My question, for a small in-house client-server system upgrading to AS, is the AS licence based on named users or whether it can be on a concurrent number?
Many thanks
Ciaran

Standard reply usually is: contact your local Oracle sales rep.
But you could read the SIG (the pdf doc) here http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/index.html?sig.html
For db I've been told that named means any "user" than can be using the server, whether she/he/it is using it or not. For AS, I don't know... maybe any computer with IE counts as a named user? :)

Named User Plus Licensing clarification

Hello,
I would like to know as Named User Plus Licensing defines any end-node that receives data from or creates data for that Oracle DB including human users. for example. if we've purchased 5 named user licenses and and those 5 users, if one user create 3 sessions to database, so 5 users create 15 sessions to database, than how many number of licensing need to purchase or to be counted?
Thanks,

Please for License question it's prefer to contact Oracle local office / Sales Dept or account manager in your country , they will provide you with information you need

BPM Automated Activity: Technical User vs Named User

Hi Folks,
I've implemented a number of working BPM prototypes and now our customers are so interested they want us to implement a number of productive solutions for different process scenarios. Technically we all know that for the automated activity we can either use a logical destination or a service group which in both cases will mean a number of alternatives for authentication to the backend to execute the service operation in the automated activity. In our scenarios so far we have tested both approaches i.e. Service Group and Logical destination using a technical user for both cases (For SG, technical user in the physical system assigned to the SG)
My question is are you using a technical user to authenticate to the backend in either case or are you forwarding credentials of a named user involved in the specific process instance to be authenticated to the backend and in case of the latter how do you achieve this (apart from ensuring this user also exists in the backend)? The dilemma is if (by SAP agreement) we can use a technical user then what (apart from our ethics) stops us from only getting BPM licences and using a technical user(s) for most of our data maintenance transactions and by extension what prevents the same approach being used via non-SAP BPM tools (such as AquaLogic). I know there may be different arrangements specific to an organisation's license agreement and relationship with SAP but what is the general approach out there
Thanks for sharing your feedabck

Anonymous access with named users

Hi!
I am trying to set up anonymous access with named users on EP6 SP9. I am using Database only as UME Data storage. I have applied the note #728106, since most of the content is html-pages on the KM.
I defined the UME settings ume.login.guest_user.uniqueids=anon01,anon02
ume.login.anonymous_user.mode=1
Restarted the server and attached user account into roles (which contain only anonymous content).
I then accessed the page /irj/portal/anonymous (or the longer version /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.anonymous) and everything was fine. However I wasn't able to get the portal working with /irj/portal/anonymous?j_user=anon02. I always received Portal runtime error. From the logs I saw that the portal tried to access as user anon01.
When I changed the UME settings into
ume.login.guest_user.uniqueids=anon02,anon01
I was able to get the anon02 user account working, but not /irj/portal/anonymous?j_user=anon01. From the logs I saw that the portal tried to access as user anon02.
Both user account are using the same rule, portal desktop and framework page. I can see the correct (and different) TLN for each user only in the content are I see this error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Petri

I need to switch between two named anonymous users.
It works fine using http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?j_user=<first_Guest_user>&j_password=<pwd_of_first_Guest_user>&login_submit=true
Then to switch to the other user I must do a log-off or close the browser and input the other url http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?j_user=<second_Guest_user>&j_password=<pwd_of_second_Guest_user>&login_submit=true
I developed a servlet to switch the users using IAuthentication (method forceLogoffUser) and then redirect to the respective url. But when I call forceLogoffUser method I get a login screen and the script stop executing. Passing 'returnURL' parameter did not work.
Parameters:
req - HttpServletRequest
resp - HttpServletResponse
returnURL - url to use to logon again.
Is there a way to switch automaticaly between the two named anonymous users?

I get a message "before viewing pdf documents i must launch adobe reader and accept end user licence

I get a message "before viewing documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the end user licence agreement then quit and relaunch the browser". How do I do this?

Just launch Adobe Reader. Assuming you are on a Mac, all apps are launched from Applications.

End User Licence Agreement

Hi, I have tried to open a document using adobe reader, but it says I need to close my browser and agree to the 'end user licence agreement' - which I did when I downloaded it. I then go back to reopen the page, and it is still saying the same.
Can you help?

If you are in Windows (which we don't know), you can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

AcroPDF.dll User Licence and Allowed Usage

I am developing a VB.Net program, part of its functionality is dispalying a pdf document. I am using the SDK AcroPDF.dll (AcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF object) which works fine.
Can I distribute the .dll with my VB code for free even if I sell the program for a small fee? I've read the user licence but its not that clear to me re all the legal jargon.
Any comments much appreciated.
Regards,
Albert.

Yes. Once you have the Security dialogue box opened in Safe Mode, as described, you will probably see two vertical lines of six boxes, two boxes shaded and ticked (Read and Execute; and Read). Under Allow, click Full Control at top. It and the two other unshaded, blank boxes under Allow (Modify and Write) will become ticked. Click Apply. Click OK. (Note! When going back to look, I did not of course click Apply then OK, having no need to change the permissions again - so the direction "Click Apply. Click OK" is in fact an assumption on my account, although I can't think what else one might do at that point.)
The below image is what you should see in the first instance:
Hope my contribution here has helped. I was six hours trying to get rid of those files!!

This is incorrect you should read the agreement. One License One machine. Read the agreement PDF I linked to. I also showed the item that pertains to what you said. It is not legal to have it on more than one machine, run time has nothing to do with most software agreements. Some allow it Apple does not.

Confusion over named users

If I have 10 Oracle servers and 20 people accessing them, how many named user licenses do I need to buy? Do I need 20 named users, or do I need 10x20 = 200 named users?

Check this note,
http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=11365&media=os_user_minimums
* Oracle Database Standard Edition can only be licensed on servers that have a maximum capacity of 4 sockets. If licensing by Named User Plus, the minimum is 5 Named User Plus licenses.Additionally, it may be licensed on a single cluster of servers supporting up to a maximum of four sockets .
Also, the license can't shared among servers. You need to license each server properly.

Need help getting a list of named users

Hi all, is there a way to get a list of all named users in the system? I can't find any filters for it in the management console.

Connection Type - Concurrent or Named User

Post Author: Rohini
CA Forum: Administration
Hi,
     We are using BOE XI R2. How can I check if a user logged in to BOE is a concurrent user or named user?
Thanks,
Rohini.

Post Author: Rohini

Thanks for replying! My bad... I didn't ask what I exactly was looking for.
I wanted to see if there is any Audit report, or view in CMC that shows me list of users logged in and connection type for each user. We have 10 concurrent licenses and sometimes when the # of users logged in exceeds to 10, all users get error message that # of concurrent users exceeded 10.
For eg. I would expect to see something like this:
UserName        LoginDateTime          ConnectionType
user1                03/27/08 08:00:01         Concurrent user
user2                03/27/08 08:10:11         Concurrent user
user3                03/27/08 08:05:50         Named user
user10              03/27/08 08:15:20         Concurrent user
So, I want to see a summary details of all the users who are logged in is Named User or Concurrent user.
Thanks,
Rohini.

Named User Licensing by Developer or Emailed User getting report?

If we get named user licenses for BI Publisher for use against custom tables,
so 5 users can log in and build/run reports...
.. and if those users schedule reports with different parameters,
and the report outputs are emailed daily to 20 other folk as PDFs
( who never go to BI Publisher web page or log into BI Publisher )...
... does Oracle count this as requiring 5 named users or 25 named users?
Someone is telling me it's 25 named licenses we'd need?
TIA
Karl

Hi,
Did you ever find an answer on this?
I'm currently investigating a prospective use of BI Publisher, and this would make a significant difference as to my recommendation to implement it or not...
