Cost. :-)
Actually we would like to go for Named User Plus licenses, not CPU
licenses. That would be cheaper already now and we might want to push
in more physical servers into the cluster later and we wouldn't need
additional (CPU) licenses with the existing NUP licenses.
From the Software Investment Guide:
"Oracle Standard Edition One may only be licensed on servers that have
a maximum capacity of 2 sockets. If licensing by Named User Plus, the
minimum is 5 Named User Plus licenses."
Rephrasing my question: Are we allowed to use SE One on a VMWare ESX
cluster with 4 physical machines and 2 sockets each?
Cheers,
Marcus
