At the end of the term, the user must stop using the software unless he or she purchases new licenses or extends the term of the license through an agreement with the software developer or publisher. A perpetual license allows the user to continue to use the software for as long as he or she continues to comply with the terms of the agreement. Oracle offers one-year, two-year, four-year and perpetual licenses. Oracle Named User Plus: This metric is used in environments where users can be identified and counted. A non-human operated device will be counted as a Named User Plus in addition to all individuals authorized to use the programs, if such devices can access the programs. If multiplexing hardware or software (e.g., a TP monitor or a Web server product) is used, this number must be measured at the multiplexing front end.

Oracle Database and Application Server Standard Edition has a minimum of five named users per processor with a maximum of four processors. Notwithstanding the above, when licensing Oracle Standard Edition One or Standard Edition programs on servers with a maximum of one processor with one or two cores, only one processor shall be counted. Oracle Database and Application Server Enterprise Edition is available for unlimited named users on an unlimited number of processors. Oracle Per Processor This metric is mostly used in environments where the software users cannot be easily identified or counted, like in Internet-based applications. The Processor metric is also used when it is more cost effective than Named User Plus licenses.
